His watercolors-all clear handsome and informative-avoid the predictably picturesque to show without condescension what was striking and different about lives in Argentina. The overall tone of both images and text is documentary; the overall result is far more enlightening than the usual colonial travelogue. Editorial Viau SRL [R. Ackermann] unknown books
