perfect. Zustand: Very Good. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Boston is changing. Few neighborhoods in the city have undergone changes as dramatic as those in South Boston. A resilient, largely Irish, blue-collar neighborhood of Boston has become a hot ? or is it cool? ? place to be. Young people have moved in. The old pubs endure. But now they compete with hip cafes, fine dining establishments, and wine bars. Triple-deckers that were family homes are now joined by condos and multifamily apartment complexes. Amid the boom, one part of South Boston had been overlooked. That is Washington Village. The lack of attention is ironic, because Washington Village -- named to honor the nation?s first President, a local hero in the Revolutionary War -- holds its own among other neighborhoods of Boston in sheer historic value. The name Washington Village, identifying the neighborhood around the triangle of land bounded by Dorchester Avenue, Old Colony Avenue, and Dorchester Street, recognizes the seminal arrival of George Washington and the forces under his command in 1776. Famously, cannon abandoned at Fort Ticonderoga in New York were secretly transported up Dorchester Neck and to Dorchester Heights, with its commanding presence overlooking British ships in Boston Harbor. Today we celebrate Evacuation Day, when the British were driven out without a battle. The name Washington Village lasted officially less than half a century, though it lingered on in maps. In 1891, the area was renamed Andrew Square, after the late Civil War governor of Massachusetts and abolitionist, John A. Andrew. Now, with the imminent creation of a new, mixed-use development.

very good dust-jacket, cover price $24.95, very good square light brown hardcover. nicely INSCRIBED to a "newcomer in Boston" with first name only and SIGNED Ulrike Welsch, Nov. 2002. WELSCH, ULRIKE. Boston Rediscovered. Beverly, Massachusetts: Commonwealth Editions, 2002, 144pp., . A celebratory and beautiful perspective on Boston, bathed in golden sunlight and smiles, really lovely photographs. Even makes the concrete City Hall look nice. - Ulrike Welsch, international photographer, immigrated from Germany to the United States in 1964. She was the first female photojournalist on the staffs of the Boston Herald Traveler and the Boston Globe, where she provided award-winning images. Since 1981 she has compiled a photographic stock library, traveling worldwide from her home in Marblehead, Massachusetts. She is the author of nine books. - Ulrike Welsch's career as a photographer in and of Boston is a rainbow spanning the Impossible Dream and the Big Dig. Her images have the same reach-from 1960s-vintage black-and-whites that glimpse the spirit of the city as only a newcomer can to breathtaking full-color cityscapes taken since 2001. Boston Rediscovered is truly a rediscovery. For Uli herself, who has worked freelance since 1981 and has accumulated an archive of over 60,000 images from travels worldwide, returning to photograph Boston at the turn of the millennium was a special treat. Old sites look new, while many other sites are simply new. (Quincy Markets, the Holocaust memorial, and the Zakim bridge are three of the installations since the 1960s.) For the reader-city dweller as well as visitor-Boston Rediscovered is a way of seeing one of the world's great cities afresh: its buildings, its vistas, and especially its people. "Ulrike Welsch stands among the stars of Boston photographers. . . . [Her] photographs are a wonderful play of colors, of people, of places, and-above all-of the joy and happiness that a beautiful city can bring to its many guests and residents. Capturing these images-which Uli does magnificently-is a rare gift." -from the foreword by William O. Taylor, Chairman Emeritus, Boston Globe. 9781889833378 ISBN 1889833371.
