Light marks to DJ, otherwise very crisp, clean and bright inside and out. This lovely facsimile captures the life and times not only of Cora Helena Sarle but of Canterbury Shaker Village in the 1880s. Essays by noted Shaker expert June Sprigg and Village president Scott T. Swank illuminate the patterns of daily living in the nineteenth-century community. And of course, Helena’s exquisite drawings bring to life the extensive Canterbury property, and reveal the inspirational gifts of their creator.
