Edition First edition.
Description 1 volume (unpaged) : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 24 cm
Summary Deeds' subtle, meticulous, and wildly imaginative pencil and crayon drawings portray an unusual cast of characters: nineteenth-century dandies, Civil War soldiers, antique cars, fantastic boats and trains, country landscapes dotted with roaming animals, and fanciful architecture. None of these existed in the actual mid-twentieth-century landscape of Deeds's own life, but rather were representations of his inner world-an artist's poignant tribute to a faded past.
