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".

The story of the Scribner's work, which was important to Hopper, is recounted by Gail Levin: "Fame fostered Hopper's career in illustration. In September 1918, he began to sell to Scribner's, a cut above his usual clients. Walter TIttle claimed credit for the first assignment: 'I succeeded in getting him a bit of work from Scribner's magazine almost by brow-beating my old friend [Joseph Hawley] Chapin [the art editor], insisting that here was a man really too good for him.' Hopper's wife came on the scene to observe: 'Scribner's were wonderful to him, let him go his own gait, careful not to give him things not his kind to do.' His kind: te first story they gave him to read was 'The hearing ear', by Henry Van Dyke, which dealt with heroic rescue in the war. The two drawings, which appeared in the issue of December 1918, added one hundred dollars to Edward's books." ; Dark blue (C183)--calico grain cloth; gilt lettering framed by gold, with red and white lily designs; flower motif repeated on spine in gilt; partially untrimmed ; Trade edition issued in dark blue cloth ; foxing ; name on front endpaper ; scarce Hopper source ; VG.

Aggiungi al carrelloJacket condition is fine also. The Bastille was the most famous of prisons. Only the Tower of London could be compared with it, and while the Tower has attained a greater age, and has harbored kings, princes, and many of England's most famous sons, yet the Bastille appealed more strongly to the imagination. It seemed the visible… symbol of tyranny; mystery hung over the fate of those immured within it; many of them were confined without charge, remained without trial, and suffered without record. In its annals, both romance and history have found abundant material. As is the case with many famous institutions, tradition has somewhat exaggerated its importance. Mr. Bingham tells us that when the Bastille was captured by the Parisian mob, it contained only seven prisoners, obscure and unimportant criminals. It had become no more than an ordinary prison; except as marking the beginning of a Revolution, its overthrow was not deserving of long commemoration. Even in the days when the Bastille was reserved for more dignified offenders, its terrors somewhat diminish as we study history. The most of its inmates were persons of social importance, and they usually had all the comforts that were consistent with restraint. During the reign of Louis XV, many persons famous in literature were sent to the Bastille, in order to manifest the government's disapproval of their views. Ribbon marker in volume I is a little frayed at the end but that is about the extent of damage. These two exquisite volumes, now 120 years old are so beautiful and fresh and bright and untarnished. The sturdy decorative dust jackets have preserved them. Dust jackets were rare in 1901. This is an especially fine set indeed. Two 8vo. volumes, each with its own index. But Indices are identical! 478 pp. and 498 pp. 18 illustrations in vol. I and 16 illustrations in vol. II. Red cloth binding stamped in gold. Red ribbon markers. Top edges gilt. Each volume has a stiff red cloth dust jacket with gold stamped spines to match their books. Binding designed by Margaret Armstrong, with her initials in the bottom right corner of each volume.
