Andalusian palaces and everyday street life share the plates of Southern Spain, painted by Trevor Haddon and described by Albert F. Calvert for A. & C. Black, who published the book in London in 1908. The prints travel through Córdoba, Granada, Seville, Málaga and Ronda, taking in the courtyards of the Alhambra, the Generalife gardens and the riverfront below Seville's cathedral. Market stalls, water carriers, lemon packing and shaded courtyards set the monuments among the people who lived around them. Haddon moves between enclosed architectural spaces and views out to rivers and mountains, with the Sierra Nevada above Granada and the Guadalmedina running through Málaga, and his eye for light and colour is everywhere.
