Raymond Moreau Crosby – illustratör

A rich girl who does charitable work as a hobby meets a slum doctor with tuberculosis, and each is a standing rebuke to the other. Harrison wrote it in 1913 when factory conditions were being argued in every American magazine, and refused to make either of them a saint. This edition adds 57 plates of painting by George Bellows, John Sloan, Ernest Lawson and others, alongside two restored and coloured in-text illustrations.

A cold, exact young man arrives in a Southern boarding house to write a book on sociology and is slowly made human by the people at the table. Harrison''s first novel was one of the best-selling books in America in 1911 and the reviewers were as surprised as anyone. This edition is bound with 58 plates of paintings by Edward Lamson Henry, Eastman Johnson, Abbott Handerson Thayer and George Bellows, and includes one restored, coloured in-text illustration.
