Brief Pageantry

De Mare, Jehanne - Eleanor Roosevelt Association Copy

Verlag: Comet Press, Brooklyn, New York, 1939

Beschreibung

First printing. With an inscription "to President and Mrs Roosevelt with all best wishes Jehanne de Mare" on the half title page. It turns out that Eleanor Roosevelt actually received (presumably) this copy and wrote about it in her newspaper column, "My Day", for January 17, 1939: "There is a book of poems called, "Brief Pageantry," which I have just received, written by a young girl, Jehanne De Mare. She used to be at the Todhunter School, so Miss Dickerman is particularly interested. In addition, there is a portrait of the author by one of Miss Dickerman's other graduates, Andrea Dowd, which illustrates the notice which accompanies the book. It is a great satisfaction and interest when young people, whom you watched develop, begin to do creative work of their own." The boards are a bit bowed and tanned. Otherwise fine in a tight binding. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 010290
