The Historical Maps of Mildred G. Burrage, an online Members Forum with Earle Shettleworth

October 29 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Between 1925 and 1940, Mildred G. Burrage created forty maps, many of which portrayed historical subjects, including the American Revolution. This lecture explores a fascinating but largely unknown body of work by a major twentieth century Maine artist who was inspired by her love of history.

A native of Portland, Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr. attended Deering High School, Colby College, and Boston University and was the recipient of honorary degrees from Bowdoin College, Colby College, and the Maine College of Art. He became architectural historian for the Maine Historic Preservation Commission in 1973 and director in 1976. He retired from that position in 2015. Mr. Shettleworth has lectured and written extensively on Maine history and architecture and has served as Maine State Historian since 2004.
