Mr. Otis, and presents 29 color plates of his art.

Mr. Otis's paintings explore the same historical subjects Holbrook wrote about. Colorful, entertaining and satirical, they depict historical events and his environmental and political concerns while parodying styles of contemporary art from his era. Holbrook's sophisticated understanding of modern art was applied in a whimsical manner, much as he used humor in his writing" (Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission).
