Elenore Plaisted Abbott Illustrations
/I picked four books illustrated by Elenore Plaisted Abbott as the ‘books of the week.’ They are all available to browse on Internet Archive. Enjoy!
The Wild Swans, and other stories - Andersen, Hans Christian (1922)
An Old Fashioned Girl - Alcott, Louisa M. - (1911)
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass - Carroll, Lewis (1916)
The flower maiden and other stories - Andersen, Hans Christian (1922)
As I read the Wikipedia entry for the artist, I realized that she spent most of her professional life not far from where I traveled the last years of my career – outside Philadelphia – in Rose Valley. The area where she lived is still far less developed than where I went for work!
