Description: Up for auction a RARE! "The Garment Trades" Edna Bryner Hand Signed 6.5X5 Page Dated 1929. ES-2522 Edna Bryner was born in Tylersburg, Pennsylvania, in 1866 and graduated from Vassar in 1907. After college she worked at a number of jobs, including serving on the staff of the Russell Sage Foundation for five years. During that period she conducted a study of the garment trades in Cleveland and directed a housing survey of New York City. After 1918 she devoted herself to writing short stories and novels. A critic wrote of her first novel Andy Brandt's Ark that "from it one learns a great deal about how a fairly typical young woman of the newest vintage thinks and feels." Bryner married Arthur Schwab in 1916 but continued to use her maiden name. In 1939 her interest in Asian religions led her to seek instruction from professor Bernhard Geiger, a philologist at Columbia. She became an expert on Tibetan Buddhist literature and was asked by the City Art Museum of St. Louis to make a study of a series of Tibetan temple paintings it had purchased. Her Thirteen Tibetan Tankas is an important contribution to the study of the rebirth doctrine in Buddhism. Bryner died in 1967.
