Hoff (1862-1938) war die Tochter des unermesslich reichen David Whitney und heiratete mit 38 Jahren J. J. Hoff, Geschäftsführer der Standard Oil Company in Frankreich, sie lebte in 2 Schlössern und widmete sich der Bibliophlie und wohltätigen Aktivivtäten. Eine ausführliche Rezension der bemerkenswerten Sammlung findet sich in der Zeitschift "Philobiblon", Jahrgang 1934, S. 407: "Ce magnefique catalogue, auquel Monsieur Gruel a dédié sont gôut et son expérience, a été redigé avec le plus grand soin et avec beaucoup de doctrine par Monsieur Amédée Boinet. Dans ce riche ensemble une place particulière est faite aux reliures avec de nombreuses séries de beaux exemples à partir du XVe siècle jusqu`à nos jeurs. Chaque pièce représente un type, ainsi la collection a une haute valeur d`enseignement et constitue un véritable musée. Je trouve heureux le système adopté de diposer par ordre chronologique la description des ouvrages et les reproductions; il en résulte une harmonie très agréable et les images ne faisant pas des sauts de siècles offrent par elles-mêmes l`histoire bien ordonnée de l`art de la relieure." - Erschlossen über drei Register. - Titel mit kl. Wappenstempel. - Sehr gut erhalten.

Grace Whitney Hoff was born on October 22, 1862, in Detroit, Michigan. She married John Jacob Hoff on April 3rd, 1900, and together they left the United States for France which became their adopted country. Using her personal fortune for philanthropic work, she cared for soldiers wounded in World War I and she founded a retirement home in Peyrieu (Ain) for war widows. Her most important contribution, however, was the construction of the Foyer International in France for American women studying abroad. She was actively involved in all aspects of the building process because she wanted students to be housed in comfortable and clean surroundings. For her efforts and generosity she was awarded the Academic Palms in 1923 and the medal of the Legion of Honor in 1925. Grace Whitney Hoff died in Lausanne, France on December 18, 1938.
