Small 4to, linen backed boards, labels on front cover and spine (the latter darkened), [iv], 156pp. Brief presentation inscription from Blanche Ames appears on the free font endpaper. Sixteen plates by the Heliotype Printing Company, from drawings by Blanche Ames (Smith College, Class of 1899), the notable artist (despite having precious little in the way of formal training), political activist, cartoonist, inventor (especially memorable is her system of color reference charts, identifying some 3,000 hues and tones) , writer, and promoter of birth control and women's suffrage. Her distinctive achievements and family connections were many. Among her grand-children was George Ames Plimpton. Late in life, she would take on a contrarian view of John F. Kennedy's PROFILES OF COURAGE, resulting in her writing the full fledged biographical account of her father "ADELBERT AMES." An excellent precis of her distinguished life appears in ANB, Volume I. A Very Good copy.
