About this Item

Publisher's green cloth with leather-like grain, title stamped in front cover, spine plain, floral patterned endpapers in pale acqua and cream. Covers are flat and clean, with just a hint of bumping to the rear upper cover, the endpapers show very minor toning (by transfer from the glues used in binding the book). Photographs by Frank S. Warren and Edithe Beutler, colorization by Edithe Beutler, Classification by Dr. Harold St. John. 32 full page color plates, printed on rectos only. The flowers and trees illustrated in these subtle and accurately colored plates include White Ginger, Mauna Loa, Crown Ginger, Pikake, Kika, and Gardenias. Short foreword about the Outdoor Circle's history. Edithe Beutler was born in 1892. After a divorce from a popular stage magician (Alfred Edgar Bogdon), she raised two children by opening a studio for coloring photographs using oil pigments -- first in San Francisco. She moved on to Hollywood, where her daughter (Sally Phipps ) had a career as an actress in films during the Silent Era. Beutler moved on to Hawaii where her artisic achievement found focus and her lasting legacy remains. A biography of Beutler and a tribute volume -- 'Edithe Beutler: Beautifying Hawaii with Color' was published at the beginning of 2025. The original images the Edithe Beutler sold still circulate among avid collectors. This 1944 volume was apparently also available in a paper binding.
