I am the author. This book was taken from an original handmade daybook for the year 1900 given to the American musician William Mason for his 70th birthday. I came upon the original headed for the trash at a relative's house and researched it off and on over ten years. All 365 pages had a unique inscription. The contributors were all part of Celia Thaxter's Isles of Shoals arts' salon off the coast of Maine during the Victorian heyday in arts. The pages include Childe Hassam drawings, Edward MacDowell musical inscriptions, an entry from Helen Keller, and many pages from the leading classical musicians of the time from around the world. MacDowell's wife later founded the MacDowell colony based on what she saw at the Isles of Shoals. The publisher selected 52 of the most notable and I provided brief text and supplementary photos for each entry. The book was bound in red cloth with gold gilt-stamping to match the original and the time period. Produced on acid-free paper. I was so happy to be able to save the original so others could see it for years to come. And now I am happy to see it digitized online.
