(PALEY, Mrs. William; G. Alan Chidsey)
Mrs. Paley's House [cover title]: House on the River
Green cloth gilt. Octavo. Gilt a little rubbed, some foxing, a very good or better copy. Mock-up for a small book employing an article about Paley and her house from Vogue Magazine, pasted-up and designed by Chidsey largely using the original article. We can find no references to existing copies, and this may have either not been produced, or produced in a very small edition for Paley's own use. We have seen one other similar production such as this from Chidsey, more than a decade ago. Chidsey was a lawyer, New Yorker-contributor, book dealer, book designer, a trustee of the estate of Marsden Hartley, and the brother of the author Donald Barr Chidsey. His papers are held at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.
