C. Scott White

C. Scott White, an artist from Massachusetts whose water colors once graced nearly every summer home in our area, began coming to Mount Desert before World War One as a houseguest of Dr. Vincent Bowditch at Islesford. From 1917 until 1939 White and his wife stayed with the W. O. Sawtelles, also on Islesford, and exhibited at the Blue Duck. In 1939 the Whites transferred to the Asticou Inn and spent summers there until “Uncle Scottie” died in the late 1950s. The brief exhibition that represents the Library’s effort to record Mr. White’s history on Mount Desert. These images are copied from private collections and are shown with permission.
