India in Glittering Chariot: Words & Drawings by the Ohio artist and author Julia McCune Flory -new (sealed)

About the Book & Edition

• The Author: Julia McCune Flory (1882–1971) was a highly accomplished Cleveland-based artist, illustrator, and author who grew up right here in central Ohio (she actually attended Denison University!). She and her husband, Walter Flory, were major cultural figures in Ohio history and co-founded the Cleveland Play House in 1915.

• The Content: The subtitle Words & Drawings points to what makes this book unique—it is filled with personal reflections, travelogues, and elegant black-and-white sketches drawn by Flory during her extensive travels through India.

• The Publication: The copyright date is 1971, the very year she passed away. The book was printed by Edwards Brothers Inc. out of Ann Arbor, Michigan—a well-known short-run and book manufacturing printer. Given the Rochester, NY address for information (belonging to her son, John Flory), this was a privately or independently published memorial edition put together by her children to preserve and share her final travel drawings and writings.
