Gleason, David K., author, photographer.

Plantation homes of Louisiana and the Natchez area / photographs and text by David King Gleason.

Baton Rouge : Louisiana State University Press, ©1982.

ix, 134 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 27 x 37 cm

In these 120 resonant full-color photographs, David King Gleason fully captures the aura of Louisiana's plantation homes -- some beautiful in the morning light, some shaded by trees and hanging moss, some crumbling in decay and neglect. Taking each house on its own terms, Gleason's photographs present the buildings and their environs sharply and without deception. Accompanying the photographs are captions that give a brief architectural evaluation of each house and provide notes on its construction, history, and present condition.
