Virginia Landscapes: A Cultural History

Foreword by Director of the Virginia Historical Society Charles F. Bryan, Jr. This is the story of Virginia as told through the work of landscape artists. Although landscape pictures are no foolproof guide to Virginia's history, they are historical documents that, carefully scrutinized, yield historical insights as much as written documents or archaeological evidence. The Virginia Landscape gives a unique view into the cultural history of Virginia, as depicted by landscape pictures over centuries.
