Bookseller Notes

The recipient was a British author on rural matters, best-known for his 'England's Green and Pleasant Land' in 1925.Bertha Evelyn Jacques, ne Clausen, was also an artist known for her etching and cyanotype prints; the illustrations to this book, including the etching of roses to the dustjacket's front panel, are likely her work. The text is a diary of her and her husband's happy days in Rose Cottage near Lake Michigan, principally the garden there.A scarce book, with a nice association.
