Hi. Neither "Sitka" nor "Tennyson," but at Moser (1880s-1920,
Arkansas Ozark farmstead) we found a tableware set named "Kenilworth"
by A. Alcock and Company, Cobridge, Staffordshire, mark 1891-1910,
very much Japonisme, asymmetrical, brown transfer print of a lake
scene in a frame with bold floral garlands. My English Lit friends
reminded me of Sir Walter Scott's novel Kenilworth (though after the
report was published!). I considered it a fine example of the
revival of Gothic (revival) romantic themes in the late 1800s. I
wasn't as surprised as others to find it on an Ozark
farmstead. "Tennyson" fits but I'm not so sure about Gothic
"Sitka"--or maybe the new movie 30 Days of Night about vampires in
Barrow Alaska is in keeping.
