Cindy Kelly, former director of the Historic Houses of the Johns Hopkins University, now divides her time between Baltimore and New York. She is coauthor of Homewood House, also published by Johns Hopkins. Edwin Harlan Remsberg is a photographer who lives in Fallston, Maryland. His photographs appear in Maryland's Vanishing Lives and Testament to Union, both also by Johns Hopkins.
Some reference books become immediately indispensable. This is one of them. -- John Lewis Baltimore Magazine An essential guide to nearly every sculpture in the city. It's full of fun facts and quirky details. -- Ashley May Urbanite Much more than a simple visitors' or residents' guide, this volume embodies thorough research, clearly organized, and it models what can result from a serious and systematic look at a city's history through its public art. Scitech Book News Bring[s] attention to the importance of conservation and treatment of... the greater cultural landscape. Choice
