Overview

New Mexico is a land of diverse cultures and people. That variety is reflected in the many types of barns found throughout the state. Barns from the Land of Enchantment is a collection of fifty drawings and accompanying each is a vignette about the featured structure. All of the illustrations are full-page black and white drawings suitable for framing. The vignettes enliven the illustrations with interesting historical information about each barn. Many of them contain amusing anecdotes about the author's difficulties in his search for the subjects in the volume. Barns from the Land of Enchantment will fascinate anyone who has a rural background or an interest in art and architecture.
