"This landmark publication brings together historic landscape paintings by San Francisco based watercolor painter Lorenzo Latimer (1857-1941), alongside those of the Nevada artists he mentored, including Marguerite Erwin, Dora Groesbeck, Hildegard Herz, Nettie McDonald, Minerva Pierce, Echo Mapes Robinson, Nevada Wilson, and Dolores Samuel Young. In 1921, these women founded the Latimer Art Club in honor of their longtime instructor. Their watercolor paintings of the Truckee Meadows, Washoe Valley, Lake Tahoe, and Pyramid Lake are foundational to the history of Northern Nevada's outdoor painting tradition." -- Provided by publisher.
