Illustrerad. Ur Publisher's note: In March, 1894, Houghton Mifflin published the first edition - one thousand copies - of AN ISLAND GARDEN, the last and best book Celia Thaxter wrote. A second printing of 1000 copies was published in November, 1894, a few months after her death, and the book was declared out of print in 1902. Although an edition without illustrations was brought out two years later, this is the first reissue by Houghton Mifflin of the famous Childe Hassam edition. The paintings commisioned for AN ISLAND GARDEN are considered to be the most beautiful of Childe Hassam's career and as important to American impressionism as Monet's paintings of his garden are to French impressionism.
