FAMOUS AMERICANS SERIES of 1940 SCOTT 861 -- RALPH WALDO EMERSON SIGNED by Postmaster of Boston, MAR. E. Fellers, Superintendent, div. of StampsEdward Waldo Forbes Grandson of Ralph Waldo EmersonDate born: 1873 Place born: Naushon (Island), MA Date died: 1969 Harvard art historian and director of the Fogg Art Museum. Forbes was born into the quintessential "Boston Brahmin" family. His father, William Hathaway Forbes, organized the Bell Telephone Company with Alexander Graham Bell. His mother, Edith Emerson Forbes, was the daughter of the poet Ralph Waldo Emerson. In 1899, while traveling in Europe, he bought his first Italian masterwork, a painting then considered to be a Tintoretto. Norton's son, Richard who was teaching in Rome, convinced Forbes to lend the picture to the Fogg Art Museum, which had opened in 1895. Forbes joined the Board of Trustees at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1903, a position he subsequently held for sixty years. He married Margaret Laighton (1885-1966), a lighthouse keeper's daughter, in 1907. In 1909 he was appointed director of the Fogg. He retired from Harvard and the Fogg in 1944.
