As noted in this brochure, Irma was quoted as saying that her childhood in the Rhine Valley of Germany instilled in her a lasting love of nature. She studied at the Academy of Arts in Berlin. In 1932, Irma married Samuel Engel, a professor of opthalmology at Stanford University. Following Samuel's passing, Irma married Edwin E. Grabhorn (1889-1968). Edwin founded the famous Grabhorn Press with his brother, Robert Grabhorn (1900-1973) in 1919.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: No Binding
