Reviews

[Christian Jackson]

A delightful account of the artist Frederic Church's voyage around Newfoundland and Labrador in search of icebergs to paint written by his friend and companion Louis Legrande Noble. The voyage takes place in the summer of 1859, on the eve of the civil war, and in addition to the interesting descriptions of the landscapes and the painters habits as he searches for the perfect iceberg in the perfect light, Noble gives a delightful account of both America and British North America.
