Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Illustrations by E. W. Kemble and the Author (illustratore). First Edition. 208 pages. This book is notable for the gift inscription by the artist James A. M. Whistler on the front free endpaper, "signed" with his butterfly. "To Mrs Chalmers Mitchell / F.F.V.! / [butterfly drawing]." A later gift card signed "Lily C. M." and dated 1947 is laid in. Lily Chalmers Mitchell was the wife of zoologist Peter Chalmers Mitchell. Whistler may have known them through their mutual friend, publisher William Heinemann. "F.F.V." likely stands for First Families of Virginia. Perhaps Lily was from Virginia. Whistler's brother William lived in Richmond. Signed.
