Life on the River: Watercolors of Dubuque and the Mississippi by Alda Kaufman

In this selection of paintings, Alda emphasized the river and its influence on everything surrounding it – from recreation and commerce to the geography of Dubuque’s bluffs and the layout of the city. Alda’s unique perspective gives these familiar scenes a fresh look.
