The Magnificent Battells

by Ann Havemeyer and Robert Dance

Norfolk's leading family for over 150 years improved nearly every aspect of the fabric of this rural village. Not content to embellish their own estates, these benefactors built or adapted a wide variety of marvelous structures for community use. Full of historic photographs and including a beautiful reproduction of Battell Chapel's Tiffany stained glass windows, this handsome cloth-bound volume documents the lives and works of four generations of a remarkable family. Order your copy today.

Marie Kendall’s Glimpses of Norfolk (1900) is a 40-page booklet of photogravures which features her pictures of the town at the turn of the 20th century. Buttermilk Falls, Tobey Pond, and farm scenes are interspersed with collages of buildings such as the Norfolk Library and the Eldridge Gymnasium. In addition, Kendall took photographs of the fine summer residences that had just been built, each image framed by elaborate tracery in which is embedded the name of the house or its owner.

We are pleased to be able to offer a reprint of this volume for $10.
