The family was neighbors with and later purchasers of the Tiffany Estate in Livingston, NY. Eda was married to her cousin, Conrad Mattheissen, the Chicago and Jersey City refiner of sugar and corn syrup. She had 4 children, and was known for her charitable work donating a gym and pipe organ to LaSalle IL high school in 1926. She moved to Santa Barbara and in 1927, divorced Conrad and moved to Pasadena to be near her son Conrad. She remained in Pasadena until her death in 1957. These books came from her estate.) A nice set for a library or simply for styling and decor.
Notes on George Eliot:
George Eliot was the pen name of Mar Ann Evans (1819-1880), an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She took on her male pen name to have her work taken seriously at the time. She wrote 7 novels and countless articles and reviews for newspapers and journals.She was known for her detailed and carefully written prose and politically charged opinions and views of English society at her time, that come through in not only her articles but later in her fiction as well.
