The worlds and I
The Worlds and I is a 1918 autobiography by the American poet and journalist Ella Wheeler Wilcox, published in New York by George H. Doran Company, and it is a memoir of her literary life and interest in spiritualism. Its photographs are studio portraits of the author at different ages, mostly posed three-quarter or full-length in period dress against painted or draped backdrops. A designer might take from them the sepia tonal range and formal Victorian and Edwardian studio poses, with dark backgrounds and soft lighting.
