SUMMARY:Opening Reception Photography Group Exhibition "Out and About II
 "
DESCRIPTION:Constance Baxter's sensitive and expressive 1970 photographs
  of Katahdin and the flora of Baxter State Park will be featured as a pa
 rt of Cove Street Arts group show “Out and About II” opening Thursda
 y September 21 and running through November 18. Constance\, a.k.a Connie
  Baxter Marlow\, will be present for the opening reception\, along with 
 her husband Andrew Cameron Bailey\, whose work will also be exhibited .\
 n\nThe exhibition includes museum-quality archivally-printed fine art ph
 otographs from Connie's book “Greatest Mountain: Katahdin’s Wilderne
 ss\,” first published in 1972 by Scrimshaw Press\, a San Francisco-bas
 ed fine art publisher. A second edition was published by Down East Magaz
 ine in 1976. An expanded 3rd edition was published by Tilbury House Publ
 ishers in 1999 adding the Wabanaki spiritual connection to Katahdin. The
  original 1972 edition and the 1999 edition are available for purchase a
 t the Cove Street Arts bookstore. This year is the 51st anniversary of t
 he 1972 edition.\n\nConnie grew up in Maine and was greatly impacted by 
 her great granduncle\, former governor Percival P. Baxter and his vision
 : to bring humanity and nature together in “the right\, unspoiled way.
 ”\n\nConnie spent 12 months during 1970/1971\, at the age of 24\, livi
 ng in a cabin on Millinocket Lake with her dog Angel. She climbed Katahd
 in 12 times in that year and was the first woman to climb it in the wint
 er on a 6-day expedition in February of 1971. Her first ascent was at ag
 e 13 while at summer camp.\n\nConnie thoroughly researched her uncle’s
  statements regarding his intent in purchasing Katahdin and the surround
 ing 200\,000 acres. In “Greatest Mountain: Katahdin’s Wilderness” 
 she interspersed black and white and color photographs with Governor Bax
 ter’s quotes\, so readers would understand the depth and breadth of hi
 s vision for the future of Maine’s unique wilderness.\n\nIn 1921 Baxte
 r declared: "Katahdin raises its head aloft\, unafraid of the passing st
 orm\, and is typical of the rugged character of the people of Maine. The
  establishment of Baxter State Park will lay the foundation of a policy 
 whereby the present generation will deliver a great inheritance to the g
 enerations to come."\n\nThe photos and the book are collectible treasure
 s for Mainers who revere Katahdin and the Baxter legacy of gifting their
  fortunes to the people of Maine.
