New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1905. Hardcover. Near fine. Duodecimo size, 296 pp. The designs of Margaret Armstrong (1867-1944), utilising the Art Nouveau style and floral patterns, were a sensation in the publishing business; Armstrong created over 270 book designs, often for the works of well-known authors such as Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, and George Washington Cable. In addition to designing books, Armstrong wrote books as well, including a comprehensive guide to wildflowers in the American West, which she also illustrated.
"Fisherman's Luck" is a collection of essays by American author Henry Van Dyke (1852-1933), who also served as U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands and Luxembourg; the book features a beautiful design using fish and sea plant motifs by Armstrong, with bright gilt fish swimming around the title on the front board.
