[Rarebooks] FS: Eleanor Roosevelt INSCRIBED to actress Katherine Cornell

[Charles Agvent]

ROOSEVELT, Eleanor. ON MY OWN. New York: Harper & Brothers, (1958). 
First Edition. Early but not first printing. Illustrated with 
photographs. Her third volume of memoirs: The Years Since the White 
House. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the half-title page: 
"Inscribed for/Catherine Cornell/With good wishes/Eleanor Roosevelt." We 
are certain that this is inscribed to actress Katherine Cornell 
(1893-1974) as we have purchased a few other books from her estate from 
the same source. Cornell was a leading stage actress of the 1920s and 
1930s, best known for her performances as Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet" 
and Elizabeth Barrett Browning in "The Barretts of Wimpole Street." 
About Fine in a Very Good or better dustwrapper. (#013898)        $1,000.00
