40 watercolor drawings of early Charleston and the surrounding country, including plantations and parish churches, by Charles Fraser. The drawings are reproduced by offset in full color from Fraser's personal Sketchbook covering the period 1796-1806, started when he was only 14 years old. Charles Fraser (1782 -1860), was an American artist best known for his miniatures of prominent American figures. In the Charleston of his day, Fraser was as well known for his orations, literary pursuits, cultural authority and civic engagement as he was for his art, and, towards the end of his life, was lauded as the city's most beloved artist.
