Description

Excerpt from Bulletin of the Essex Institute, 1898, Vol. 30 Upon testing the completeness of the work, it was found that the green incandescents in the laurel wreath encir cling the seal, while producing a beautiful effect, did not properly light up the elaborate art-work of Mr. Turner, but were unable to cope with the power of the white flame issuing from the Roman lamp, before which they so far paled their unefi'ectual fires, that it was thought best to replace them with white, and this was successfully done. The seal, as shown, was a very beautiful object, and a very original design. Could we have thrown a strong light from some outside source upon it, as it was at first arranged, the effect would have been even finer. Our neighbors caught the contagion of the moment, and not only were the residence of David Pingree on the east with Plummer Hall and the Cadet Armory on the west generously lighted up with electricity and gas, and decorated with bunting, but the quarters of the Father Mathew Temperance Society, and the dwellings of Dr. Morse and of Major Peck on the other side of Essex street were equally so, and the whole block were the gala air of a night in Venice. The Cadet Headquarters displayed in front, a fine picture in colors of the original seal of the ancient corps, dating back to the Revolution. The weather throughout was perfect.
