- Description:
- Reproduction of William Fisher's portrait found in the National Portrait Gallery. Cornell's First University Librarian, Daniel Willard Fiske, lived and purchased the villa of Walter Savage Landor while living in Rome. "Although little known today, Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864) was a much celebrated English poet and satirist. During his hayday (from 1821 to about 1864), Landor hosted a number of English and American luminaries at his villa, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Charles Dickens and James Russell Lowell. Fiske decided to call his home the Villa Landor, rather than the historic name, the Villa Gheraradesca" ["The Villa Landor: Walter Savage Landor's Calling Card," The Passionate Collector-Willard Fiske and His Libraries Exhibition website, Division of Rare & Manuscript Collections, Cornell University, accessed August 23, 2012, http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/collector/villalandor/villalandor_2.html].
