| An advantage of painting is the ability to correct the scene.
Power poles, parking signs, etc. are simply left out, making this an ideal way to show
historic structures. The book takes the form of picture on the right hand page,
accompanied by an historical essay on the left. The reader is rewarded with a broad
understanding of local history, & the factors which have influenced the development of
the region. |
