Step into the history, architecture, landscapes, and legends of Santa Fe through the eyes of a writer and artist who captured the city’s distinctive Southwestern character.

by Lewis Edward Ewen
Lewis Edward Ewen is best known as the author of Santa Fe Sketch Book: History and Sketches of the City Different, an illustrated guide to Santa Fe and the surrounding New Mexico landscape. The book visits historic plazas, churches, museums, pueblos, mountain country, and landmarks connected with the Santa Fe Trail and the region’s complex past.
Available art records identify Ewen as an American 20th-century artist associated with New Mexico. His paintings and works on paper include Southwestern landscapes, missions, pueblos, and scenes around Santa Fe, reflecting the same strong sense of place found in his book.
