The proud little lady,: And other stories
Ida Waugh
Unknown Binding
(McLoughlin Brothers, March 15, 1882)
Worn copy of rare Waugh item, Good only, 10pps, chromolith drawings of cavorting little girls with verses doubtless supplied by long time associate Amy Blanchard (unmentioned here). #53 from the Over the Hills series. Date is a guess. Born in Philadelphia, Ida Waugh (1846-1919) studied at home with her father as well as at the Pennsylvania Academy, and at the Academie Julian in Paris. Her illustrated children's books were produced with her lifelong companion Amy Blanchard who owned a neighboring summer cottage in Maine. Waugh's half-brother, the well-known marine painter Frederick Judd Waugh, and her father seemed to have overshadowed Ida most of her life and little is known about her.
