Stigma

New York: The Macaulay Company. Very Good. (c.1928). First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [solid copy, light wear and very slight fraying to cloth at a couple of corners, light spotting to top page edges]. Novel about a mother and daughter, set in Colorado, San Francisco, Arizona, and New York. The author had already been a well-known muralist prior to spending nearly ten years (1917-1925) working in the film industry, first as an art director for Goldwyn Pictures, later as a producer/director/writer under his own company banner. By the time this novel appeared, he had quit the movie biz and returned to his artistic endeavors; several of the murals he produced in his later career can still be seen at various Los Angeles locations. .
