Via Zoom we hosted historian/photographer/graphic artist Jeff Morrison last night to present his book Guardians of Detroit: Architectural Sculpture in the Motor City.
We'd originally had Jeff scheduled for May 2020 . . . but then the pandemic.
His presentation was worth the wait, as it was a fascinating exploration of an oft-neglected and unseen side of Detroit architecture.
Not only was Jeff very knowledgeable on his topic, but is also a good presenter.
He provided a lot of history and context for his many great photos.
Jeff's book was a 2020 Michigan Notable Book, as well as being selected by the Historical Society of Michigan in 2019
for its State History Award for Outstanding Michigan History Publication.
So, if you've not already had him in your library (virtually or in-person), I highly recommend him.
