- Harry Leith-Ross (1886-1973) was an influential teacher and author as well as one of the most decorated and prolific Pennsylvania Impressionist artists. For more than 30 years he regularly exhibited his watercolors, drawings, and oil paintings at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Corcoran Gallery, the National Academy of Design, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. This beautifully illustrated book chronicles Harry Leith-Ross' life from his birth on the island of Mauritius, to his childhood growing up in his grandparents' castle in Scotland, to his early years traveling in America, and his final residence in Bucks County.--Publisher.
