Living in History reveals the architectural diversity of English period houses through the eyes and beautiful hand drawn portraits of Artist Eli Ofir. Each detailed portrait is accompanied by in-depth historical research from House Historians Jane Davidson and Rosalind Chislett, as well as stories and memories from the people actually living in the houses today. This book is a unique and breathtaking study of the evolution of English house styles from Medieval and Tudor times up to the 1930’s. The result is a visually and academically stunning presentation of the evolution of English homes from an historical perspective, a personal perspective, and with a Gentle Twist to Perspective unique to Ofir’s art.
