More about barns
WE WERE PLEASED TO NOTE in the November issue of Harper’s Magazine that appreciation of barns is not confined to the Rappahannock News (or its sister publication, the Piedmont Virginian).
Harper’s features a series of striking color photographs, taken from a forthcoming book, “The Barn; A Vanishing Landmark in North American,” written by Eric Arthur and Photographed by Dudley Whitney (New York Graphic Society Ltd.).
An introduction to the photographs states:
“Nostalgia will not save the great nineteenth - century barns of North America. They are close to extinction already, and neither their neon reconstruction in roadside eateries nor their scavenged beams in the weekend ‘cabins’ of city dwellers will bring them back.
“The barn and the church. The analogy is deeper than the symbol of the manger. For millennia, the barn and the church have shared the same basic plan, the basilican, in which the central aisle (threshing floor or nave) is flanked by two parallel aisles broken by bays that in the church become chapels; in the barn, stalls.
