This is the story of both of them. Ray Chamberlain was born in East Corinth, Vermont, the year the Civil War ended. He entered Dartmouth in 1885, and later transferred to Cornell to study engineering, graduating in 1891. His health proved unequal to this strenuous career, but he had other interest. As his obituary subsequently stated, \"Blessed with a versatility of talent he turned to that of artist.\" He studied at the Art Students League in New York, worked as an illustrator and cartoonist, and returned to Cornell to be a professor of Free Hand Drawing in the College of Architecture. Again, quoting from his obituary, \"His academic career afforded him the leisure time of his vacations to use his pencil, and brush and camera in the open lakeside by the sea.\" His marriage to Grace Wilmarth Caldwell in 1903 began a partnership that lasted for twenty-six years. Grace was the second child of George Caldwell, one of the first professors to be hired by Cornell University. She grew up in Ithaca and attended Cornell, graduating with degrees in Greek and Latin. After their marriage, the two lived near Cornell, and spent their summer at the quiet cottage on Cayuga Lake. The number of photographs taken at the lake, and the spirit which pervades them, indicate that this is the place where they were most content.--Seneca Falls Historical Society","brand":"Pioneer Printing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39965591142470,"sku":"2323991","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2323991.jpg?v=1650027951","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/grace-in-the-afternoon-a-cayuga-lake-love-story","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
