DAVID WRIGHT: Historian With A Brush is the colorful story and gallery of an important American painter's life work.

The Life, Art and Religious Iconography of David Wright
This book showcases the contribution Australian contemporary glass artist David Wright has made to Australian art and international glassmaking. From 1970 until 2014, David Wright produced hundreds of high quality art glass windows for Australian public, private and sacred spaces, including significant national churches, chapels, and synagogues, yet little scholarly research on the artist and his place in Australian art history exists. Including the first catalogue raisonné ever produced on the artist, combined with a close examination of his opus, his influences, manufacturing methods and personal history, this book demonstrates for the first time the extraordinary contribution David Wright made to Australian art and contemporary glassmaking.
Sirens: The Pin-Up Art of David Wright
THE FIRST EVER COLLECTION OF ONE OF THE LEADING PIN-UP ARTISTS OF THE 20TH CENTURY! David Wright's illustrations epitomise female glamour in the 1940s and 50s; a beautiful and elegant collection of his original and previously unpublished paintings. David Wright was one of the leading pin-up artists of the 20th Century. Unlike his American contemporaries Alberto Vargas and Gil Elvgren, the British-born Wright brought a sense of realism to his willowy beauties, who appeared in publications on both sides of the Altantic, especially during WW2. Now, finally, access has been granted to his archive, and this is the first ever collection of his work.

Women at Fort Boonesborough, 1775-1784
Fort Boonesborough is one of Kentucky's most historic places and, although seldom mentioned in popular accounts, women were there from the very beginning. This work includes 195 women whose presence at the fort can be reasonably documented by historical evidence. The time period was limited to the years between 1775, when the fort was established, and 1784, when the threat of Indian attack at Boonesborough had subsided and the fort's stockade walls had been taken down. The names of the female children these pioneer women brought to the fort are also included, as they shared the risks and hardships of frontier life. The work includes a Historical Sketch describing the women's experiences at the fort and a Biographical Section that gives a brief personal history of each woman. 174 pp., illus., indexed, paper.
