The words African Art is written on the cover, as there are a number of African Art pieces in this collection.
Dorothy Hart Hirshon (1909-1998) was a glamorous figure in New York society from the 1920's through the 40's.

She was sketched by Matisse, photographed by Cecil Beaton and Horst, listed as one of the world's best-dressed women and featured in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. She decorated Kiluna Farm, their 85-acre estate in Manhasset, with a saltwater pool and an indoor tennis court, lining the walls with their growing collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings. Twenty-two servants looked after the house, gardens and greenhouse.
