By appointment of President Wilson, a friend and former classmate of van Dyke, he became Minister to the Netherlands and Luxembourg. ; fine illustrations from photographs by Mathilde Weil ; "Mathilde Weil was born in Pennsylvania in January 1872. She was interested in art from an early age, and studied drawing and painting in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Decorative Art League, and the Museum of Industrial Art, and at a summer school in Annisquam, Massachusetts. In 1892, Weil obtained a bachelor of arts degree from Bryn Mawr College and almost immediately secured literary positions. Between 1893 and 1896, she read manuscripts for the publisher Macmillan and she served as an editor for Book Review and American Historical Review. Weil acquired her first camera in the winter of 1896-97 and established a portrait studio within a few months. Locating her studio in Philadelphia's main business district, Weil soon became one of the city's most well-known portraitists. She charged the highest fees and avoided the excess retouching that was routine in photographic portraits. Her specialties were children and home and outdoor portraiture. On the latter, she wrote two articles; one made up an entire issue of Photo-Miniature (January 1904) and the other appeared in the May 1906 issue of Country Life in America." -- Christian Peterson ; Decorated cloth binding by Margaret Armstrong, bound in turquoise blue cloth over boards; stamped in gold on front cover and spine; top edge gilt and trimmed. ; Trade edition issued in dark blue cloth ; foxing ; name on front endpaper ; VG.
