Published by Cosette-Faust Newton, Dallas, 1932
First Edition Signed
Lavishly produced and self published travel memoir from the larger than life Dallas poet, academic, eccentric, and socialite, Cosette Faust-Newton (1889-1975). Includes many of her poems sprinkled throughout the text, fantastical line drawings and map endpapers by the important Dallas artist and printmaker, Margaret Ann Scruggs, and copious photographs from the journey which went through San Francisco, Hawaii, Japan, China, The Philippines, Malay States, Dutch East Indies, British India, India, Europe, Holland, and New York. Though this is her first book, Faust-Newton has listed no less than five other titles "In immediate, uniform-with-this-volume, preparation" which were to be a part of the "Around the World" series. In attempting to outline the fascinating story of the woman who was well ahead of her time, this cataloguer feels a list format is best. 1. Received her first Ph.D. in Philology in 1916 and went on to earn a dozen professional and academic degrees. Several are credited here on the title page: M.A., M.S., M.E., M.D., Ph.D., J.D., J.S.D., LL.D. 2. Married Frank Newton in 1918, travelled and lectured extensively as she describes: "When we were married my husband agreed that I was to do with my life what I wished . I am away in Europe and all parts of America for maybe a year, maybe longer, writing, lecturing, living my own life, and then every once in a while I go home on a visit. Then it's all happiness without the prison-like feeling that many women protest against. I have an apartment in New York, a gift from my husband, and I keep a trunk in Paris. For there are many times when one just has to be alone and be just oneself." 3. Hired a private detective to have her gardener kidnapped and held for questioning in her attic re. a missing jade ring gifted to her by a Chinese princess. The ring was never found, the gardener was sued for damages, and Faust-Newton was charged with false imprisonment, which was later dismissed. 4. Built a three-decker yacht called the S.S. Miramar or the "Garden Ship of Dreams" in her back yard in which she entertained the Dallas elite on pleasure cruises beginning in 1941. The rare program offered here is from the first voyage, a grand ball supervised by a fanciful crew: "Chief Officer, Aeolus-Neptune; Chief Surgeon, Dr. F. H. Newton; Chief Engineer, Ulysses; Purser, Pan; and Chief Steward, Apollo." .this story continues with street parties, neighbors' noise complaints, disrepair and vandalism by juveniles, booby-traps set, cells with jail doors erected in the house, and eventually a suit by the city demanding the dismantling of the ship. A fascinating book and related ephemera from a truly remarkable figure whose story should be more well known. For further reading, please see "The Prisoner of Highland Park,"by China Garland inD Magazine,November 1, 1977, which we have quoted here. . 24x17cm, xxiii, 310, [1]pp. Photographs by the author, illustrations by Margaret Ann Scruggs. Illustrated map endpapers, fold out chart, bibliography, index, glossary at rear. Signed by Newton and Scruggs on the hand-embellished, gold leaf decorated, at least 5 color printed limitation page. Pictorial, textured black cloth is bumped and somewhat faded, else very good. Laid in are a bifold announcement for two of Faust-Newton's later books of poetry from the Kaleidograph Press, and an original voyage souvenir for her S.S. Miramar Cruiser De Luxe of the Newton Garden-Ship Line First (only) limited, deluxe, autograph edition.

Tall 8vo. xxiii, [1], 310, [2] pp. Photo frontisp. w/ original textured tissue guard, colour-tinted photo plate w/ tissue guard, numerous photo plates, photo & text illustrations throughout, hand-illuminated limitation page. Black silk moire, cover art w/ colour rainbow arching over a steam ship, decorative gilt lettering front cover & spine, pictorial illustrated map endpapers by Scruggs (minor rubbing, very minor shelfwear), still a VG bright copy inscribed by both author & artist, from the library of Dallas socialite and intrepid traveler, Annette "Nettie" Hawkins Jones (1870-1936). First edition, signed & numbered 465, of this lavishly illustrated memoir by the eccentric author through Hawaii, Japan, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, relating historical anecdotes, travel tips, cultural mores, and snippets of poetry by the author. She includes a prospective travel reading list bibliography at the end for the aspiring traveler, along with detailed index. Faust-Newton (1889-1975) was an avid traveler, earned several degrees, gave lectures on her excursions, and amassed a sizable collection of antiquities and Asian artifacts later used to fill their museum. She is perhaps best remembered in her former Highland Park neighborhood of Dallas for the decades-long legal fights with the city over her mock 3-story yacht S.S. Miramar, scene of parties, and tourist attraction, the 1938 kidnapping of an African-American employee accused of stealing a "priceless" jade ring (never found), and the sustained pranking and vandalism campaign contributing to her deepening sense of paranoia. Scruggs (1892-1988) was a noted Dallas, TX etcher, illustrator, writer, author, designer, and artist, descendant of noted Kentucky Portrait Painter, Sam Woodson Price, and taught at SMU.
