Snapshots of Mary Hyde




In My Sentimental Library Collection, I have books written by and about the authors I collect. I have books they formerly owned. I have catalogues of their libraries, if ones were published. I have their bookplates, if they had ones. I have letters written to or from them. And, in the case of Mary Hyde, I have a few photos of her, and two newspaper articles about her.

To old friends of the Hydes, these images will bring back memories. To new friends, these images will provide glimpses into the life of Mary Hyde.

Bon Voyage!






I acquired these photos and newspaper articles from Gabriel Austin and Sally Bullard.

What wonderful photographs! They really do give a snapshot (if you will forgive the pun) on an interesting life
