Book Synopsis

A beautifully illustrated celebration of the Cornish artist Samuel John Lamorna' Birch (18691955), an English artist in oils and watercolours. Birch settled in Lamorna, Cornwall in 1892, and many of his most famous pictures date from this time and the beautiful Lamorna Cove is usually their subject matter. He was attracted to Cornwall by the Newlyn group of artists but he ended up starting a second group based around his adopted home of Lamorna. The book draws on many hundreds of personal letters, as well as recollections of friends and family to paint a remarkable picture of life in the Lamorna colony in Cornwall.
