Before the advent of photography, the topography of the colonial North American landscape was recorded by travelling artists hired to reproduce what they saw with unadulterated realism.

Gold Medal winner in the Independent Publisher Book Awards 2015 for Best Regional Non-Fiction.This lavish book is the first to present the iconic works of legendary West Coast artist Godfrey Stephens.

"Godfrey Stephens stamps his personality on every beautiful thing that his fertile genius produces. When you encounter one of his paintings or monumental abstract wood carvings or one of his junk-rigged boats, you know who made it at once. All his work is unique, one-of-a-kind. This book documents that genius for, incredibly, the first time." - Peter Grant, historian.
