FISHER, DOROTHY CANFIELD

American Portraits...Pictures by Enit Kaufman

New York: Henry Holt, 1946. First Edition. Canfield wrote the text: short profiles of various people, including herself. This is an exceptional presentation copy; inscribed by the author, “For Mary and Norman Rockwell, With affectionate greetings from their friend and neighbor Dorothy Canfield Fisher. January 1947.” Laid into this copy is the publisher’s invoice to Fisher, noting to “charge against royalty.” A fine association; Rockwell moved to Arlington, Vermont in 1939. Fisher’s son died as a result of World War II’s Cabanatuan raid which rescued Allied prisoners of war. All books described as first editions are first printings unless otherwise noted.
