Overflowing with nostalgic photographs of Charleston in the 1940s and 1950s, this beautifully designed autobiography of John Carroll Doyle offers 93 color plates of sun-drenched gardens, classic nudes, sparkling oceans with gleaming gamefish as well as some of the most moving canvases ever painted of the city's African-American community. Born and raised in Charleston, Mr. Doyle, with little formal art education, claims as his art teachers his City's architecture, the enchanting wooden boats at the yacht basin, the old Charleston Museum stocked with relics from around the world, the French Impressionist books in the old library on Rutledge Avenue, and above all the coastal sun that floods his city with a brilliant light.
