Our Favorite Victorian Photographs

[L Verge]

I was recently researching the evolution of pantries in homes in order to educate our tour guides. I ran across a reference to one of our great female literary figures who did most of her writing while sitting in the kitchen pantry. I think it was Emily Dickinson, but I can't find the reference again, of course. She evidently appreciated the peace and quiet of her surroundings. I guess canned peaches don't interrupt one's creative juices.
