Brenton Simons gives both social and historical context to some of the finest views of Boston ever created. It’s a pleasure to see these ‘antique’ representations of the city, many of them not on public display, collected in one informative and beautiful edition. His eye for pictorial detail is ably matched by his expertise in the region’s history, and he has produced a tribute to the many artists who were inspired by the city.
