The Silver Bridge
When I featured the mysteriously-named Nura's Buttermilk Tree in August 2009, I assumed I would not be able to find more of her books. Luckily I was wrong! Here are scans from Nura's Silver Bridge (1937), the first of three books by her I've added to the hoard. More to come.

Time provided some biographical details about Nura in its 1934 review of The Buttermilk Tree:
Assiduous U. S. gallery snoopers and the Paris Salon d'Autonne have known about Nura since 1925. She studied in Kansas City's Art Institute, at the Art Students League in New York and in Chicago where she met her Painter-Husband Eduard Buk Ulreich. Buk Ulreich nicknamed her Nura because he "never calls people by their right names." Her right name is Norah Woodson Ulreich. When she and her husband do murals together they sign them Bukannura. Living in a Manhattan studio, they have no children because Nura feels a real one might engross her to the point that she could not paint imaginary ones.
