Illustrated throughout with plates, portraits and photogravures by Howard Pyle, Frank T. Merrill, Frederic Remington and F.O.A.C. Darley, among others. A Fine set. In the long struggle to abolish slavery, John Greenleaf Whittier became one of the most influential voices. "A highly regarded poet of the 19th century, he was enshrined in the pantheon of 'Schoolroom Poets' along with William Cullen Bryant, Ralph Waldo Emerson...and Oliver Wendell Holmes" (Poetry Foundation). His Quaker belief in tolerance and his friendship with activist William Lloyd Garrison combined to make both the poet and his poetry fiercely abolitionist. And indeed, in seeing the appeal of Whittier's poetry, Garrison enlisted his friend to publish on the cause's behalf and shift the tides in New England, where the abolitionist position was still unpopular. Here in a lovely binding, beautifully illustrated, are a selection of the works which made Whittier such an influential voice in his own time. Fine.

Description
Boughton signed the gelatin silver print of the immensely popular French singer and actress Yvette Guilbert (1865-1944) along the bottom margin in white ink, "Photograph by Alice Boughton." The image is identified on verso on tape, "Madame Yvette Guilbert to appear [sic] the Shubert-murat Theatre Aft. Apr. 6th." Below the tape,is the likely stamp of a publicist or agency. Above the tape, pencil docketing shows. Condition: some margin chipping at the cornered and slight bend at the lower left corner and at the "g" in Boughton. Signs of aging on verso. Photograph measures almost 8 1/2 x 6 1/4. Boughton belonged to Alfred Stieglitz's Photo-Secession group of photographers whose goal was to approach photography as a form of art. He included two of her photographs in his inaugural show in 1902. She was also active in promoting images of the educated, active "modern" woman who functioned beyond her home.
