Baltimore's Own Little Italy Artist

Although I am not usually an art fan, I found this book to be a delightful view into the life and work of Tony DeSales. If you love Baltimore (as I do) then this book is for you. The many drawings and photographs of local landmarks will give you a different view that only Tony DeSales can provide. This is a great book!

Baltimore's Own Little Italy Artist: the Artwork of Tony De

Rita DeSales French has a unique prospective on the works of her brother Tony, a humanitarian and ambassador to Baltimore, whose love of Baltimore shines through in this wonderful book. Anyone who has ever visited Baltimore and met Tony DeSales would appreciate the photos, post cards, and sketches. He made his living sketching scenes of Baltimore and selling them to locals and tourists. This is depicted in the book. He had tourists and locals send him postcards from their home town. Some of these appear in the book, along with wonderful old photographs. This one would make a wonderful table top book or gift for anyone.
