At one time, Harrison Fishers Fisher Girl was as well-known as The Gibson Girl. Cosmopolitan Magazine in the 1920s called Harrison Fisher, The Worlds Greatest Artist saying that There is an underlying ideal that dominates his paintings. His ideal type has come to be regarded as the type of American beauty: girls, young with the youth of a new country, strong with the vitality of buoyant good health, fresh with clear-eyed brightness, athletic, cheerful, sympathetic, and beautiful. Theodore Brown Hapgood, Jr. (18711938) designed book covers, bookplates, posters, and a set of type ornaments, known as Hapgood florets. His cover designs were often based on floral and branch motifs, reminiscent of Renaissance woodcut borders seen on title pages and chapter headings.

Signed
[New York, July 31, 1908]. [1]p. 13¾ x 8½ inches. Partly-printed document, completed in manuscript. Folds; minor creasing; Very Good. Signed contract for the rights to publish the novel A Mother from Mars written by Indiana author Frances Foster Perry. A manuscript addendum states Dodd, Mead will issue the book in the Fall of 1909 and that they will make ".no changes to the title or text of the book without consent of the Author." The publisher did publish the book on time, but with a less extraterrestrial sounding title, Their Hearts' Desire. Docketings on the contract's verso reference the book under both titles. In the book, a motherless child becomes fascinated with Mars. He speculates that if Santa Claus can "make live things" he must be getting them from Mars. His Santa letter: "Dear Santa - I do not want the things I said. I only want a mother. Maybe you can get one in Mars." (p44) He later asks Daddy if he knows of anyone from Mars, who went to Mars, etc. While a charming plot element, perhaps Dodd, Mead & Co. felt A Mother from Mars was not revealing of the book's plot. A contemporary ad for the published book describes as a "sweet and tender little love-story." The illustrations by popular American artist Harrison Fisher (1875/7-1934), noted for his drawings of beautiful women, underscore the book's romantic themes. Once A Mother from Mars, Perry's only published novel appears to have sold well. At least here on Earth. See The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, Vol. LXXIX, No. 1, November 1909 (The Century Co., New York), p33.

Book First Edition
Decorative Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Fisher, Harrison (illustrator). First Edition. Near Fine. See scans and description. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co. 1909. Two copies, in two variant bindings, of Frances Foster Perry's "Their Hearts' Desire", illustrated by Harrison Fisher, both first editions, one still retaining the very scarce glassine jacket. 9.5" x 6", 152 pp. Cover illustrations (both variants) and six interior color plates show Fisher's unforgettable work. Gilt and lavender margin decorations on each page by Theodore B. Hapgood. Two variant bindings (see scans). One copy bears a Fisher cover illustration of a left-facing brunette, the other of a right-facing blond. Both covers are in ornately gilt decorated lavender cloth with pale blue floral accenting (see scans); spines also lavender, similarly decorated; both also with lavender and gilt floral-and-trellis pattern endpapers. See scans. Brunette example still accompanied by its original glassine jacket in rather remarkably unharmed condition for such a fragile item (the jacket would fit either copy, of course). Blond example shows micro-touching of corners and has a Christmas gift inscription, dated December 25, 1910, by George W. Wilson Jr., believed to be (with no provenance to that effect) the son of George W. Wilson, a U.S. Congressional Representative from Ohio from March 4, 1893 to March 3, 1897. Near Fine. Brunette example shows a couple of foxing spots on a front end paper, is virtually Fine, technically Near Fine because of those and a small cover rub. See all scans. A short romantic story by Frances Foster Perry, more collectible yet for its status as one of the early twentieth century finely bound and decorated books featuring beautiful women of the era drawn by the likes of Harrison Fisher [in this case], Howard Chandler Christy and others. Eyecatchers; as near fine as near fine gets. Scarce pair. L7n.
