Books by Harry Ameredes

Most mornings, Harry Ameredes was up with the sun and working diligently on pen and ink illustrations in his West Virginia Home. The drawings of canes and pipes (or bastouni and tsibouki, as this Greek American called them) presented here are only a small fraction of the thousands of original drawings that Harry had completed over the years. Once retired from the local steel mill, Harry used much of his free time to draw and carve, which he found was a natural extension of his drawing.
