Carved Ivory is a novel written by Ambrose Swasey. The book is set in the early 20th century and follows the story of a young woman named Lucy, who inherits a valuable piece of carved ivory from her grandfather. The ivory is a family heirloom that has been passed down through generations, and Lucy is determined to keep it safe.As Lucy learns more about the history of the ivory, she discovers that it has a dark past. It was originally carved in Africa by a slave who was forced to work for a cruel master. The ivory was then smuggled out of the country and eventually ended up in the hands of Lucy's grandfather.As Lucy struggles to protect the ivory from those who would do anything to possess it, she also grapples with the moral implications of owning such a valuable and controversial object. Along the way, she meets a cast of characters, including a wealthy art collector and a group of activists fighting against the ivory trade.Overall, Carved Ivory is a thought-provoking novel that explores themes of family, heritage, and the ethics of owning cultural artifacts. It is a compelling read for anyone interested in history, art, or social justice issues.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
