Complete and unabridged, with 51 full-page plates by William Henry Hope, John Constable and Henry Sargent. A young American painter falls in love with a photograph of a German princess and sets off across Europe to find her — Gibraltar, Cairo, Baden — with a friend who watches him do it. Davis was the most famous reporter of his age and the model Charles Dana Gibson drew for the Gibson Man; this 1895 novella is the joke about romantic pursuit told by a man who could see the ending from the first page. Fifty-one paintings from Jean Béraud and James Tissot carry the European society the painter chases through, from Paris streets to a London garden party.
