Born In Norway Reimers Immigrated To The U.S. And Settled In California Before 1883. He Established Himself As A Painter At An Early Age Focusing Predominantly On Landscapes Which Laid The Foundation For His Design Practice. Around 1900 Reimers Was Hired To Work As A Landscape Gardener For The San Joaquin Division Of The Santa Fe Railway Where He Introduced The Idea Of Improving The Depots With Parks. This Work And His Experience With Planting In Hot Dry Climates Led To His Appointment As The Chief Gardener For The City Of Fresno California. In This Role He Designed The Planting Scheme For Roeding Park In 1903 And Hobart Park In 1906. Following These Naturalistic Public Park Designs He Was Commissioned In 1910 To Design Mooney Grove Park A 100-Acre Valley Woodland In Visalia California. In 1907 Reimers Moved To San Francisco And Attended The Institute Of Art. His Work Was Publically Exhibited At The Golden Gate Park Museum And San Francisco Academy Of Art In 1915 And 1916 Respectively. Today Reimers Is Better Known As An Artist Than As A Landscape Architect With Paintings In The Oakland Art Museum And The Art Institute Of Chicago. <br/> <br/> The Macmillan Company hardcover

Printed by Benson Advertising Printers Harrisburg PA 1975. Signed by Author on inside front cover with Presentation note with date. First Edition. 36 pages. From library of Henriette Palmer who designed many books endorsed by the Pennsylvania Poetry Society. 1st Printing. Nice Firm Clean copy ! Scarce. Size: 8vo 7.75 - 9.75'' tall. 'Counterpoint' is endorsed for merit by the Pennsylvania Poetry Society. Amelia Reynolds Long 1904-1978 Aka A. R. Long Peter Reynolds Patrick Laing was an American detective fiction and science fiction writer novelist and poet. Her story 'The Thought-Monster' was made into the 1958 film Fiend Without a Face. She co-wrote the 1936 novel Behind the Evidence with William L. Crawford under the combined pseudonym Peter Reynolds. Long's first poem 'Lucifer's Reply' was published in Kaleidograph in the early 1930's. It won first prize in a contest and remains a quite startling piece. After quitting the fields of mysteries and science fiction poetry became Long's predominant interest and she continued to write poems for the rest of her life. A number of her poems were published in various journals and periodicals such as the Nutmegger Encore The Harrisburg Evening News and The Swordsman Review. The Pennsylvania Poetry Society of which she was a member printed two chapbook collections of her previously published poetry work in 1974 Shreds and Patches and 1975 Counterpoint. Her name lives on in the Pennsylvania Poetry Society's Amelia Reynolds Long Memorial Award. It is clear that Long had a gift for creating works of studied beauty with an often poignant human touch. Her two poetry collections remain rare and elusive gems that deserve a wider audience.

The illustrations color frontispiece 9 color plates with tissue-guards intact a title-page drawing and chapter-head line drawings feature lots of nekkid ladies Ms. Tice's specialty and bear captions along the lines of "She smiled with her legs as she spoke with her torso." This is stated on the limitation page to be one of "1250 copies of which 990 are for America." Although one is usually well-advised to take the professed numbers on these vintage-erotica items with a grain of salt what makes this one especially interesting though is that instead of a number written into the blank space below the statement the single word "presentation" is inked; in addition on the half-title page is a 3-inch-tall original drawing of yet another nudie that is SIGNED by Clara Tice.
