Description
Arguably the consummate collection of quintessential Vermont images, Richard Brown's now-classic, eminently collectible The Soul of Vermont is back in hardcover.
For more than 40 years, Brown has been taking photographs of his beloved home state. These soulful images, taken throughout the seasons, create a distinctive, unforgettable photographic portrait of Vermont's landscape and its people. He chronicles with great affection the people who live and work on the land, and without sentimentality he celebrates a rapidly disappearing way of life.

Reviews
"Brown is my favorite upcountry artist with a camera. His photographs have such crisp luminosity I think I would recognize them anywhere." -- Maxine Kumin - The New York Times Book Review
"Nearly every place has its own unique beauty, and Brown perfectly captures that." -- USA Today
"The beauty of Richard Brown's photos makes us think about what we are doing to our state. His is an important vision: much of Vermont is still beautiful, but we need to see and appreciate the ideal if we are to preserve it. [His] photography expresses that ideal superlatively well." -- Tom Slayton - Vermont Life
