Picturesque Catskills, by R. Lionel DeLisser
$100.00
DeLisser’s Picturesque Catskills is an unparalleled photographic folk-history of the Norther Catskill Mountains. Comprising several hundred photographs of every town and village in Greene County, DeLisser pairs his images with a meandering account of his travels meeting citizens and hearing the tales and history of the area. Sometimes a folklorist, sometimes a historian, and always an artist, DeLisser’s book creates an irreplaceable tapestry of Greene County at the end of the 19th century. 160 pages.
