GENERAL INFORMATION. In Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie (1847), a narrative poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the lovers, Gabriel Lajeunesse and Evangeline Bellefontaine, are separated when the British expel the Acadians from Nova Scotia. He is carried to Louisiana and she to New England. The two spend years looking for one another. Nursing the sick in an epidemic in Philadelphia, she recognizes him as the dying man in her care. Now an old woman, Evangeline also dies and the two are buried together.
This Sebastian pair was never a terribly strong seller and must be listed as rarer than many of the other pairs in the series.From Dr. Glenn Johnson's book, The Sebastian Miniature Collection.
