Complete and unabridged, with 49 full-page plates by Winslow Homer, George Bellows and Thomas Moran. A girl comes to New York with no money and no intention of being anybody's mistress, and lives on the edge of a dozen fortunes. Johnson coined the type in this book and the word salamander - a woman who walks through fire without being burned - was in the newspapers for a decade after. This edition adds 49 plates of painting by John Sloan, George Bellows, Childe Hassam and Winslow Homer, alongside 11 restored and coloured illustrations.
