This charming volume is a collection of ink washes produced by engraver and historian John Warner Barber (1798-1885), each depicting a specific locale in a Connecticut town. Barber created these drawings as part of the procedure for producing wood engravings to be included in his Connecticut Historical Collections, the first popular local history in the US, published in 1836. In creating these drawings, Barber sought realism, but also to portray the beauty in rural nature and the peacefulness and harmony of life in small-town Connecticut. The reproductions of Barber's drawings are accompanied by contemporary descriptions of the particular view chosen by the artist and the changes that have occurred there since the mid 19th-century.
