The Queen's Twin
Weber & Weber (p. 20) explain that the cover decorations of this edition are by Sarah Wyman Whitman (1842-1904), whom Richard Cary describes (in Sarah Orne Jewett Letters, p. 155) as one of the group of talented women with whom Jewett associated at the Charles Street home of Annie Fields in Boston. Whitman was "professional designer of stained glass windows, a painter, and an illustrator of books." For Jewett, she designed the covers of The King of Folly Island, Betty Leicester, and Strangers & Wayfarers. Whitman's initials appear on the cover within the small leaf beneath Jewett's name.
