Paperback. Zustand: A nearly fine copy. Ruth Orkin (illustrator). First edition thus. Small 4to. In 1951, Life magazine sent Ruth Orkin on assignment to Israel. "From there she went to Italy, and it was in Florence that she met Jinx Allen (now known as Ninalee Craig), a painter and fellow American. The two were talking about their shared experiences traveling alone as young, single women when my mother had an idea (this recollection by Mary Engel, the daughter of Ruth Orkin). "Come on," she said,"let's go out and shoot pictures of what it's really like." In the morning while the Italian women were inside preparing lunch, Jinx gawked at statues, asked Military officials for directions, fumbled with lire and flirted in cafes while my mother photographed her. They had a lot of fun, as this photograph, "Staring at the Statue", demonstrates. My mother's best known image, "American Girl in Italy" was also created as part of the series. 32 unumbered pages, perfect bound in the original photo illustrated wrappers.
