In the middle of World War I , her book Haubenlerches Kriegsferien was published in its fifth edition in 1917 , which later became part of the World War II collection of the German library in Leipzig . Also in 1917 her illustrated and widely distributed book The Holy Island : It contains prints of photographs with her daughter Elfriede, who can be seen in a white dress and a flowered top; the imaged so-called island dress later became a great fad of girls of the 1920s .
