Charleston

Charleston is ancient, buth the photographs are fesh, the details telling, and the colors disarming. and the accompanying text is rich in historical and romantic certainties- and attentive to the matters of living. You'ss find the expected here the stunning beauty of the South Battery and the classical grandeur of Hibernian Hall. There are gardens and gates, churches and the Old World streetscapes - scenes of the familiar. But there are overlooked treasures as well - a "golden" corridor of the Aiken Rhett Slave uarters and the beshadowed baptismalfont of St. Michael's Church.
