Noontide Branches: A Small Sylvan Drama Interspersed with Songs and Invocations.

Michael Field, the joint pen name of Katherine Bradley and her niece Edith Cooper, were writers associated with the Aesthetic Movement. Their many literary friends included Walter Pater, Charles Rickets, J.A. Symonds, and Oscar Wilde, among others. While visiting Oxford in 1897, Bradley asked Daniel to print this “sylvan drama” on her behalf. This copy was formerly owned by the great collector of botanical literature, Rachel McMasters Miller Hunt (1882-1963).
