Henry Crosby (1898-1929) was the heir to one of the richest Boston banking families. Profoundly affected by his experience in the American Field Service during World War I, he abandoned all pretense of living the expected life of a privileged Bostonian. With his wife Mary Phelps Jacob he moved to Paris, enjoying the decadent lifestyle of the period, Les années folles (Crazy Years), became friends with some of the most famous individuals, including Salvador Dali, Ernest Hemingway, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Mary (Polly) took the name Caresse and together they founded the Black Sun Press, becoming part of the so-called "Lost Generation Writers" and the first to publish authors including James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, D. H. Lawrence, T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound.
