With a Foreword by Roger W. Moss Although Clay Lancaster (1917-2000) established himself as an expert on New York brownstones and California bungalows, the nationally known architectural historian also spent four decades photographing architecture in his native Kentucky. Lancaster had no flash bulb, no tripod, no close-up or wide-angle lenses, but he had a good eye and a love for his subject, producing photos that are works of art as well as documents of local history. Many of the buildings he photographed have been demolished, while others have been restored. Displaying over 150 starkly beautiful black-and-white images alongside James D. Birchfield's insightful commentary, Clay Lancaster's Kentucky not only reveals the architectural treasures found in the Bluegrass State but also demonstrates the vision of an artist.
James D. Birchfield, curator of rare books at the University of Kentucky, is former president of the Warwick Foundation, which promotes the Clay Lancaster legacy through education, preservation, and facilitation of cross-cultural understanding.
