Daisy Miller by Poppy Dully -SOLD!

I found an 1956 Harper's Modern Classic edition of Daisy Miller by Henry James which was first published in 1878. The 1974 film adaptation was directed by Peter Bogdanovich 1974 with actor Cybil Shepherd. Daisy Miller is a coming of age portrait of “the American girl” of the late 19th century. James portrayed her as the emancipated woman of her day. New York Times film critic Nora Sayre wrote, “... the movie (Daisy Miller) says far more about the American condition than (the 1973 film) American Graffiti. And another virtue of Daisy, is that it makes you appreciate the present.”
Using the film as my guide, I created 8 monotypes which briefly tell the story in the novella. I printed the monotypes with oil-based ink on the book pages. The monotype pages are glued on accordion folds and mounted to the original book cover.
