This book is from the estate of Caroline (Caro) Weir Ely (1884 - 1974). She was an accomplished bookbinder, printmaker, etcher, and painter. She was educated in both New York and Paris and continued to work, maintaining a studio, even after she married and became a mother, a rare occurrence in the early 1900s. She settled in Old Lyme, Connecticut, a town known for its art colony. Like her father Julian Alden Weir a noted American Impressionist painter, she often painted near her home. Following her father's death, she sometimes printed his etched plates, producing posthumous editions of his landscape prints. Wikipedia
