Charleston

William Baldwin, award-winning novelist and historian, and renowned architectural photographer, N. Jane Iseley, know and love the South Carolina Lowcountry and its centerpiece city, and this intimacy comes shining through on every page. Charleston is ancient, but the photographs are fresh, 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’ll 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 quarters and the shadowed baptismal font of St. Michael’s Church. Come along. You’re invited in.
