Description

Published by D. Appleton and Company, New York (1891), hardcover with drawings. First Edition. With illustrations by E.J. Austen and J.P. Warren. Silver lettering and decoration on dark blue cover. Very minor wear to the corners. A very good plus, tight, bright copy.
Octave Thanet (1850-1934), aka Alice French, was an American novelist and short fiction writer. She chose “Octave” because it was gender-neutral, and that she had seen the word “Thanet” written on a freight car in the Davenport yards. She had a woodworking shop, where she built shelves and simple furniture, and a darkroom, where she developed and printed photographs with chemicals she mixed herself, an experience she described and illustrated in An Adventure in Photography, published by Scribner’s in 1893.
