a history lesson

I was looking through some old family heirlooms and I stumbled across an illustrated book of poetry from 1909 called "Two Lovers." It first belonged to my great, great grandma then my great grandma Julia or Great Mommer, as we used to call her. The book was given to her as a wedding present and then to my parents for the same occasion. In Great Mommer's inscription to my parents she writes,

"Howard Chandler Christy was a famous illustrator and he painted only beautiful people and they all looked alike."

I thought that was charming.
