He Artistically Celebrated The Beauties Of The State Being Touted As 'The New Eden,' But He Was An Active Participant In The Projects Of Henry Flagler To Transform St. Augustine Into A Mecca For Northern Tourists, While His Writings Expressed Concern That The Pristine Environment And Its Inhabitants Were Already Threatened.In Words And In Pictures, Heade Spoke Of The Vitality, Beauty, And The Fragility Of Florida. Combining His Biography, Art, And Writing, Favis Captures An Early Chapter In The History Of Art In Florida And Brings To Light An Early And Compelling Advocate For The Preservation Of The State'S Natural Riches.Roberta Smith Favis Is Professor Of Art At Stetson University And The Author Of Numerous Exhibit Catalogs And Articles.
