This Volume, including portraits, is the only book about Henrietta Johnston who, through her art, left a heritage of fresh and delicate faces from colonial days. The plates from Henrietta Johnston's portraits, including a copy by Copley, including photographs taken when the original drawings had deteriorated greatly, are brought, together for the first time. These will enable the critic to evaluate the artist's work, and may also encourage dealers and art historians toward further endeavor in a search for other pastels attributed to the artist. From Mrs. Middleton's account of the artist's struggles in the New World, the reader will gain new insight into social conditions in early South Carolina. That was no soft day of silks and dancing. Instead it was a day of struggle for settlement and survival, and the lives of many were shortened under the strain. Curiously, the subjects, as portrayed by the artist, show none of the tribulations of their daily living. "Henrietta Johnston: America's First Pastellist" is told chiefly through her paintings and as the wife of an early Commissary with The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, the Reverend Gideon Johnston. The Johnstons departed from England March 2. 1708, arriving some time later.
