My Whirligig Fair Book

I wanted to share with you some pictures of a book my great grandmother, Ruth Stemm wrote and illustrated, published in 1929. She was a very talented artist, though little of her work survives with identification. I say that because she supplied Virginia Snow Studios and other art and ad agencies with artwork for advertising and may not have always been credited. This colorful, delightful book has such sweet images. She dedicated it to my grandmother, Marylu (aka Mary Lura aka Mother Mary) and Billy (aka William Bruce aka Uncle Bruce). These photos were generously sent to me by my uncle Larry. I love to see our family's artwork!
