Additional Information Inscribed by Kate Paley, "To Deedee /with much love/Kate take two …D.D.” D. D. Ryan was a New York Socialite and editor of Harper’s Bazaar. In the famous Slim Aarons photograph of Babe Paley poolside at her Round Hill, Jamaica vacation home (see A Wonderful Time), her husband Bill is in the background with a camera of his own.  He was an amateur photographer whose social connections meant he shared subjects with many professional photographers. His most frequent subject was his wife Babe. Following Paley’s death, his daughter Kate collected them into this small (square octavo) and little known book.
