Summary:
Mary Mitchell was the foremost illustrator in Omaha in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, counting the city's most revered temples of style among her clients. After newspapers switched to photography, Mitchell preserved her archive of more than 1000 works. She presents many of them, as well as newer, colour pieces, in this book.
