ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Award-winning photographer Barbara Livingston captures the many sides of a quintessential Victorian town, from its famous racetrack to its historic homes and Revolutionary War memorials.
Livingston, who grew up near Saratoga Springs, New York, honors its history, evoking the ghosts of the golden age of Diamond Jim Brady and the Canfield Casino, revering the deer that browse the historic Saratoga Battlefield in deepening twilight, and celebrating the racegoers who flock to the track year after year.
Though best known for her portraits of racehorses and racing people, Livingston shows the breadth of her artistry in a kaleidoscope of images that reveals the spirit and tradition of Saratoga Springs. Essays about her subjects and the importance of Saratoga Springs in the shaping of her vision enhance these timeless photographs.
