50 Barn Cupolas
50 Barn Cupolas explains how old New England dairy barns came to have cupolas and presents fifty beautiful color images of unusual cupolas. Take a trip back to the nineteenth century when dairy farmers turned a ventilation problem into an opportunity to express their individuality. Each cupola is different, and each one expresses the pride that its original owner took in his barn. Some have been lovingly restored–others are on their last legs. This enjoyable book documents the way fifty nineteenth-century carpenters creatively executed the same assignment. 50 Barn Cupolas also showcases the considerable photographic skills of the author. Karl Johnson has balanced his career as a marketing copywriter by taking more than 10,000 photographs of the northeastern United States and Quebec over the last 40 years.
