By MABEL T. BOARDMAN, Chairman of the National Relief Board, American Red Cross.
Foreword by PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON.
Fully illustrated. Decorated cloth. Gilt top. $1.50 net.
The American Red Cross and the name of Miss Boardman have been inseparably connected for many years; her own story is one of fascinating human interest to all who feel a bond of sympathy with those who suffer. To-day it is the European War, but in unforgotten yesterdays there was the Philippine Typhoon, the Vesuvian Eruption, the Chinese Famine, and almost countless other disasters in which the heroes and heroines of the Red Cross have worked and met danger in their effort to alleviate the sufferings of humanity. This is the only complete historical work upon the subject that has yet been written; no one, accounting experience and literary ability, is better fitted to present the facts than is the author.
Joseph Pennell’s Pictures In the Land of Temples
With 40 plates in photogravure from lithographs. Introduction by W. H. D. Rouse, Litt.D. Crown quarto. Lithograph on cover. $1.25 net.
Mr. Pennell’s wonderful drawings present to us the immortal witnesses of the “Glory that was Greece” just as they stand to-day, in their environment and the golden atmosphere of Hellas. Whether it be the industrial giants portrayed in “Pictures of the Panama Canal” or antique temples presented in this fascinating volume, the great lithographer proves himself to be a master craftsman of this metier. The art of Greece is perhaps dead, but we are fortunate in having such an interpreter. There is every promise that this book will have the same value among artists and book lovers as had his others.
“The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece!
Where burning Sappho loved and sung,”
have never had a more appreciative and sympathetic lover.
