Product Details

This 1904 edition of The Woman With the Fan by Robert Hichens is a sophisticated Edwardian society novel exploring romance, scandal, psychological tension, and hidden secrets among wealthy European circles. **Includes historic withdrawn markings from the Redwood Library of Newport, Rhode Island. The Redwood Library, founded in 1747, is America’s first purpose-built library and the oldest continuously operating in its original location. The notation “Gift of Mrs. J. Laurens Van Alen” likely refers to a member of the wealthy Van Alen family associated with Newport society during the Gilded Age. That adds a little historical charm and provenance. Good condition. Very clean outside. The inside is clean other than several Library marks. Tight hinges.
