London; Easter 1897: The Art Journal. Quarto. 31, [1], 4 unnumbered leaves of plates by Poynter including his lovely paintings of women including his nude entitled High Noon. Book plate of Olive May Graves Percival (1869-1945). Lawrence Clark Powell wrote of her collection: In spite of an income limited to her clerk's earnings and from the occasional sale of articles, this woman, whose name was Olive Percival, collected beautiful things including over 10,000 books so assiduously that, after her death, it took an appraiser two weeks to inventory the contents of her cottage. . . . What a pity that she lacked the wealth and the leisure of a Huntington or a Morgan." Most of her collection is at the Huntington, UCLA, and the Claremont Colleges.
