The characters are chosen, for the most part, among plain people, because their feelings are expressed with fewer words and greater truth, not being costumed for social effect. The scene is laid on Nature's stage because I like to be out-of-doors." Owner name on endpaper and page 101. 1/8" tear at top of spine, pages tanned.

He was highly influenced by the famed western artist Frederic Remington. One of his techniques he described was painting with "Water-Oils", where he floated oil paint on water on paper, and then laid paper over the floating design, which left an abstract affect. Chapman specialized in landscapes, and although he spent most of his life in the East, he traveled extensively in the West, especially Wyoming and Arizona where a frequent subject was the Grand Canyon. In 1938, he spent a month at the Canyon and also painted ranch landscapes and in the Snowy Range of Wyoming. n the 1930s, he was commissioned by the Museum of Natural History in New York to paint a thirty-by-thirty-foot mural of the Grand Canyon as a background for the Puma group exhibit. He camped for several weeks at the rim of the Canyon while he worked on this project."--AskART ; "Alfred Garth Jones (1872-1955) was an English artist and illustrator who worked mainly in woodcut, pen and ink line art drawing and watercolour.

She was interested in art from an early age, and studied drawing and painting in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Decorative Art League, and the Museum of Industrial Art, and at a summer school in Annisquam, Massachusetts. In 1892, Weil obtained a bachelor of arts degree from Bryn Mawr College and almost immediately secured literary positions. Between 1893 and 1896, she read manuscripts for the publisher Macmillan and she served as an editor for Book Review and American Historical Review. Weil acquired her first camera in the winter of 1896-97 and established a portrait studio within a few months. Locating her studio in Philadelphia's main business district, Weil soon became one of the city's most well-known portraitists. She charged the highest fees and avoided the excess retouching that was routine in photographic portraits. Her specialties were children and home and outdoor portraiture. On the latter, she wrote two articles; one made up an entire issue of Photo-Miniature (January 1904) and the other appeared in the May 1906 issue of Country Life in America." -- Christian Peterson ; Decorated cloth binding by Margaret Armstrong, bound in turquoise blue cloth over boards; stamped in gold on front cover and spine; top edge gilt and trimmed. ; Trade edition issued in dark blue cloth ; foxing ; name on front endpaper ; VG.

From Wikipedia: Myrtle Reed ( 1874 -1911) Was An American Author, Poet, Journalist, And Philanthropist. She Wrote A Number Of Bestsellers And Even Published A Series Of Cookbooks Under The Pseudonym Olive Green. She Graduated From The West Division High School, Chicago, Where She Edited The School's Newspaper Called The Voice, During Which Time She Corresponded With James Sydney Mccullough, A Young Irish-Canadian Who Was Editing A College Newspaper In Toronto.[1] She Married Mccullough In 1906, After A Courtship Of Nearly 15 Years.[1] She Was A Diagnosed Insomniac With Prescribed Sleeping Drafts. She Died On August 17, 1911, Aged 36, Of An Overdose Of Sleeping Powder Taken With Suicidal Intent In Her Flat, Called "Paradise Flat" At 5120 Kenmore Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Her Suicide Letter, Written To Her Maid, Annie Larsen, Was Published The Following Day. Her Will Directed Her Estate Be Divided Among Eight Charities That For Several Years Had Been Favorites Of Their Benefactor; However, Her Estate Was Subjected To At Least Two Different Lawsuits. Paradise Flat, The Residence In Which She Died, Was Burgled During Her Funeral; Among The Stolen Items Were Several De Luxe Or Signed, Slipcased, Limited-Edition Novels Written By The Decedent. A Famous Epigram Of Myrtle Reed, Taken From Threads Of Gray And Gold, Declares: "The Only Way To Test A Man Is To Marry Him. If You Live, It's A Mushroom. If You Die, It's A Toadstool." According To The Obituary, Reed Held Many Home Entertainments Including A "Model Husband Contest" Which Her Husband Won, But Her Suicide Note To A Friend Stated "If My Husband Had Been As Good And Kind To Me And As Considerate As You I Would Not Be Going Where I Am".

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Kimball, Alonzo (illustrator). First Edition. First printing of the Toronto imprint, duodecimo size, 412 pp. The designs of Margaret Armstrong (1867-1944), utilising the Art Nouveau style and floral patterns, were a sensation in the publishing business; Armstrong created over 270 book designs, often for the works of well-known authors such as Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, and George Washington Cable. In addition to designing books, Armstrong wrote books as well, including a comprehensive guide to wildflowers in the American West, which she also illustrated. This novel by George Washington Cable (1844-1925) tells of a romance set in New Orleans during the American Civil War; Cable, considered the "first modern southern writer", used his fiction to highlight the injustices of racism in the South, and he is considered a precursor to William Faulkner.
