About the Book

This is an impressive book by Kentucky Heritage Artist Robert A. Powell that contains images of Lexington's heritage over the past 200 plus years. Most of the subjects are landmarks today, and even the few that are more current have a noted history attached. A very few are only memories today, most can still be seen very much as depicted by Powell in his unique pen & ink style that has long made him a favorite at interpreting subjects of Kentucky's fascinating history. He introduces the interesting collection with a brief look at the founding of what quickly became the "Athens of the West" and has remained a prestigious cultural center in the heart of the Bluegrass for more than two centuries. Each of the subjects is accompanied by a one-page description of the subject and its historical significance; especially to the heritage of Lexington. After an overall diverse array of images that represent nearly every aspect of Lexington and her culture, Powell wraps up his book with a brief essay on how the county itself evolved; an interesting story of its own.
About the Author: The distinctive art and writing of Robert A. Powell has long been acclaimed as a dynamic force in capturing and depicting vibrant images of Kentucky's remarkable history and heritage. His track record includes 35 published books, plus hundreds of art prints, sketchbook calendars, and articles about Kentucky subjects. A native Kentuckian Robert A. Powell grew up in the Appalachian foothills of Powell County and the Bluegrass country in Fayette County. His love for Kentucky's heritage and history has taken him to all 120 counties - to research, photograph and sketch. RAP is an author, historian, teacher, photographer, speaker and artist. After graduating from Bryan Station High School in Lexington, he earned his BA degree at Kentucky Wesleyan, and pursued graduate studies in communications at UK and Western. Powell worked as a journalist for the Clay City Times, Lexington Herald-Leader, and Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer. He taught journalism, art and English at high schools in both Kentucky and Florida, and served as a public relations specialist for the Kentucky Department of Education, the U. S. Office of Education, and Appalachian Regional Hospitals. Robert A. Powell was selected as one of the original Kentucky Heritage Artists in 1972, and was named Author of the Year by the Kentucky School Librarians in 1985. He has received many honors and citations from various groups across the state. Proclaimed by the Lexington Herald-Leader as "quite likely the most influential popular chronicler of Kentucky in recent years" Powell continues to research, write and illustrate landmarks in of Kentucky and American heritage. Powell unique pen-ink style is a major reason his work is so popular.
