After All

A red leather-bound ex-library copy of Elsie de Wolfe’s elusive autobiography, with 27 illustrations. “One afternoon, many years ago, a little girl in a linsey-woolsey frock, high gaitered shoes, and a funny little sailor hat turned up all around and with two sawed-off streamers dangling over one ear, ran eagerly up the steps and through the front door of a house on West Thirty-fourth Street, New York City. She had been out for a walk with her nurse and was impatient to return...” Rebound long ago in a surprisingly attractive and solid library red leather spine and cloth boards. Bearing the large old bookplate of a British library, and a few other light marks and notations.
