Wow! What a fun magazine for the arts. I bought it at a small shop which mostly sold popular fiction. I looked around, saw nothing of interest and almost went out the door just as my eye caught this beauty. The only thing that would make it better would be both in English and French text. As it is, it's completely in French and yet you can get the drift of it anyway. Lots of color pages and many types of arts and artists. Topics cover architecture, poetry, history.

I haven't seen a Williamsburg, Virginia item in years. The ones I've put on here were old and had been in the closet until I got around to them.

The sketch on the front cover is what caught my attention -- that and the fact that it was the second Ohio item I bought this morning for the first time ever. The text is interesting and easy to read and there are floor plans and other architectural art. It also tells the history of the structures mentioned in the title. The courthouse was designated in 1812, but its home was a log cabin!
