After Alice Ravenel Huger Smith (American/South Carolina, 1876-1958), "The Pringle House on King Street, Charleston, South Carolina", 1914, cover sheet, three pages of text and a collection of 20 lithographs in original portfolio case, sheet size 18 in. x 15 1/2 in., Provenance: Succession of Harry T. Howard III Note: Born to an established Charleston family, Alice Ravenel Huger Smith became not only one of the leading artists of the Charleston Renaissance, but also an author and an advocate in the preservation movement. In 1914 Smith and her father D.E. Huger Smith published The Pringle House on King Street, a portfolio of twenty drawings by Smith and text by her father. This led the way to their 1917 collaboration The Dwelling Houses of Charleston, the seminal volume in the study of the architecture of Charleston. Located at 27 King Street, the Pringle House is now named for its original owner Miles Brewton. Built in 1769, the house is today considered one of the finest examples of Georgian-Palladian architecture in the country.
