Newport: An Artists's Impressions of Its History and Architecture

Gorgeous watercolors by an esteemed Newport artist and teacher celebrate one of America's legendary towns---from the 17th century structures still standing to the awe-inspiring mansions of the Gilded Age. Newport was a haven for religious dissidents in the 17th century, a hotbed of Revolution in the 18th, and a mecca for the wealthy in the 19th and 20th. In Grosvenor's closely researched book, the buildings reflect this diverse history.
