Complete and unabridged, with 57 full-page plates by George Bellows, Childe Hassam and Thomas Moran. A woman of fifty-eight returns to New York looking thirty after a Viennese rejuvenation treatment, and the young man who falls for her does not know. Atherton had the treatment herself; the novel was the best-selling book in America in 1923 and caused a national argument about ageing. This edition binds 57 plates of painting with the text, among them works by Giovanni Boldini, Henry Sargent and George Bellows, and restores and colours its three in-text illustrations.
