A beautiful young doctor risks everything to save her hospital, her career — and her love.
As a doctor at the Still River hospital and as the bride-to-be of Tom Norman, Doc Bailey had exactly what she wanted in life — to cure the sick and to love and be loved.
Then both her career and her love were threatened — one by an ambitious doctor, the other by a beautiful, seductive woman. Both had power, money and cunning behind them.
Alone, with only her conscience and her love to guide her, Doctor Dee had to make the decision which would determine not only her own future, but the future of the hospital and the entire Still River community as well.
Sister Alys had been in love with Doctor Richard Kent for a long time — at a distance. Then she was appointed to the post of Home Sister, which would bring them into contact — not knowing that Doctor Kent considered that particular post a great waste of a trained nurse’s time.
These decals were placed on Maui Pineapple Co. vehicles in the 1960s to identify them for entry into the pineapple cannery complex. The decal color was changed to orange in 1970.
This plate is from Christopher Jacob Trew’s Plantae Selectae (Nuremberg, 1750-73), which was illustrated by Georg Dionysius Ehret.
“Georg Ehret was one of the finest flower painters in 18th century Europe, and his work still stands as a preeminent accomplishment of European botanical art. Born in Heidelburg to a market gardener, Ehret began his working life as a gardener’s apprentice, eventually becoming a chief gardener for the Elector of Heidelburg and the Margrave of Baden, whose prize tulips and hyacinths he painted.
“Ehret soon moved on to a number of cities across Europe, collecting eminent friends and important patrons as he traveled. Ehret’s list of benefactors includes the most brilliant and generous amateurs of his day, among whom was Dr. Christoph Trew, a wealthy Nuremburg physician who became his lifelong patron, friend and collaborator. Ehret also gained the admiration of Bernard de Jussieu in Paris, and the great Swedish naturalist Linnaeus. In England, where he eventually settled, Ehret became the only foreigner to be elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.
“The Plantae Selectae was the culmination of many years’ collaboration between Ehret and Trew. The 100 illustrations were selected for their exotic appeal and botanical interest. Many tropical subjects had only recently been introduced to Europe and were still unknown to the general public. Jacob and Haig translated Ehret’s beautiful, accurate and remarkably sensuous watercolor studies into remarkably faithful hand-colored engravings. Plantae Selectae is certainly one of the most exquisite and dramatic of the great botanical works.”
