A CAROLINA RICE PLANTATION OF THE FIFTIES: Narrative By Herbert Ravenel Sass, With Chapters From The Unpublished Memoirs Of D.E. Huger Smith.
Publisher, New York: William Morrow, 1936. Signed 1st Ed hardcover with book plate of Ellen Doubleday, publishers personal copy. Illustrated with reproductions of 30 paintings in watercolor by and signed by Alice R. Huger Smith. The magic of the Low Country, the rice coast of South Carolina and Georgia has been captured with rare beauty and fidelity in the paintings of Alice R. Huger Smith. Her water-colors of sea-island beaches, of sea marshes, of black waters in cypress swamps, and of Carolina gardens has been a great history of the glories of her State. Ellen Doubleday was married to Nelson Doubleday. Her father was an attorney who organized the Public Service Corporation in New Jersey, serving as president for its first 36 years. They had a son Nelson Doubleday Jr. (1933–2015) and a daughter Neltje (1934–2021), named for Nelson's mother. At age 18, Neltje married John Turner Sargent, Sr., who was already working at Doubleday, and they had two children. Nelson senior died, aged 59, in Oyster Bay, Long Island. A rare book with great provenance.
