Painting the Town: Scottish Urban History in Art displays a stunning visual record of contemporary images of Scotland s towns and townspeople before photography.

The book features the paintings of well-known artists, such as Charles Cordiner, Alexander Nasmyth and Alexander Carse, as well as less familiar works, chosen for what they reveal rather than who composed them.
