[From front jacket flap] We believe the Delmarva peninsula has been as close to the heart of John W. Robertson, M.D., of Onancock, Virginia as any resident of this area. Since his early years he has been delving into its history and searching for those hidden gems which would best bring out the beauty of this renowned section which lies midway the Atlantic Coastal Region of the United States. Dr. Robertson has been photographing homes, gardens, churches, waterfronts and panoramas of the Delmarva peninsula since his youth. This has been his hobby, and his work has appeared not only in papers and magazines throughout Virginia but also periodicals and magazines in Maryland and Delaware.
