HENDRY, FAY L.

Outdoor Sculpture in Lansing

Okemos, MI: Iota Press, 1980. First Edition. Softcover. ISBN: 093641202X. Illustrated by Balthazar Korab. Pages are clean and tight. This book is the result of a study commissioned by the Michigan History Division, Department of State. What Hendry found was that Lansing, the state capital, had no survey or information about the scuptural art in its boundaries; she also learned about the social and cultural history of the city. It revealed there was neither a strong sense of community identity nor had it maximized its cultural potential. Extensively illustrated with dozens of b/w photos. ; Photographs; 6 x 8; 153 pages; Cover has some rubbing, edge wear, scuffing; owner's name label inside front cover.. Very Good+ .
