His romantic images allow the viewer to step back in time and enjoy that more genteel era when life moved at a more leisurely pace. Stimulating activities and everyday events are beautifully interwoven with historic locales to create intriguing vignettes of people and places in absorbing and romantic scenes of the late 19th century.
