Description

Black and white photographic postcard of the birthplace of Mary Ingalls in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Ingalls lived in Rocks Village and later married exiled French nobleman Count Francois de Vipart; she served as the inspiration for John Greenleaf Whittier's 1863 poem, "The Countess." Small black text at the very bottom reads [1333. Birthplace, Whittier's Countess, Haverhill, Mass.]. The postcard has not been used and there is an inscription on the back alongside the inventory number.
