Hartley was born in Lewiston, Maine, to English immigrant parents. He was the youngest of nine children. When Hartley was eight, his mother passed away, and four years later, his father remarried Martha Marsden. Originally named Edmund Hartley, he adopted the name Marsden in his early twenties. After his mother's death, when Hartley was 14, his sisters moved to Ohio, leaving him behind in Maine with his father. During this time, he worked in a shoe factory for a year. These difficult experiences caused Hartley to remember his New England childhood as a period of profound loneliness. In a letter to Alfred Stieglitz, he vividly described the New England accent as "a sad recollection [that] rushed into my flesh like sharpened knives."

Good Print
I ordered an A1 print, and it arrived within a few days. The print came beautifully wrapped. The paper quality is good; it is thicker than I thought. I would say it's best to be gentle with the print as it can dent slightly due to the thickness. Overall, I will order again.

Great Quality
Wonky Walls delivered my order quickly and efficiently. Initially, I was unsure what print I wanted and whether I needed it framed. However, it arrived just after five days, and I love it.
