From: Jame Witcomb Riley, "Out to Old Aunt Mary’s"
Published by Bobbs Merrill Company, Indianapolis, 1904
Illustrated: page 38 in a decorative floral border (see photo)
Provenance: Gift of the artist
James Whitcomb Riley (1849-1916)
Gift of the poet to
George Ade (1866-1944), friend of the poet
Dr. Mary Jo. Brandt, Indianapolis (1944-2005), noted collector
“With his health so poor, he decided to work on a legacy by which to be remembered in Indianapolis. In 1911 he donated land and funds to build a new library on Pennsylvania Avenue. By 1913, with the aid of a cane, Riley began to recover his ability to walk. His inability to write, however, nearly ended his production of poems. George Ade worked with him from 1910 through 1916 to write his last five poems and several short autobiographical sketches as Riley dictated.” (Courtesy of Wikipedia)
