Alice Ravenel Huger Smith (1876-1958), a leader of the Charleston Renaissance immortalized the beauty and history of the Carolina Lowcountry and helped propel the region into an important destination for cultural tourism.

It is enriched by other 200 illustrations of paintings, prints, sketches and photographs... many shared for the first time. This hardcover volume about Alice Smith is both an important contribution to Southern art scholarship and a gorgeous addition to the bookshelf of art and history lovers.

5 of 5 A masterful book of art and history March 4, 2021
Reviewer: Betsy Reves Sidebottom from Charleston, SC  
As a daughter of a Charleston native, I am familiar with the beauty of Charleston, its history, as well as amazing local artists.  This book not only captures the beauty and history of Charleston in detail, but it dives in deep covering all of Alice Ravenel Huger Smith’s life, her work and family.  This book is a delight to browse through, a wonder to read in full and will be a favorite on our coffee table for years to come.
