Travels with Cole Porter: Texts and Photographs by Jean Howard
More than a quarter century after his death in 1964, Cole Porter remains a luminous personality in the American musical theater, a man whose life and achievements have proved endlessly fascinating. In almost 300 duotone photographs, and with the aid of diar entries (including Porter’s own travel diary for portions of the trips), Howard recounts their adventures. The legendary sights, the parties, and the illustrious circle in which they                                                                                                                                                                 journeyed evoke images of glamour and beauty as well as nostalgia for a style of travel, and a way of life, that no longer exists.
