Margaret Ross Tolbert is a painter based in Gainesville, Florida. Over the last twenty years she has executed series of paintings, drawings and lithographs from studios in the U.S., France and Turkey. She studied painting at the University of Florida with Hiram Williams where she received her MFA and BFA, with a minor in linguistics. A continuing focus of her work are the Springs of North Florida, whose paradisiacal presence provides a sense of ideal destination.

Selling the Sunshine State by Carlton Ward Jr. Tim Hollis
Hardcover, 352 pages. University Press of Florida, 2008

For more than a century, Florida has thrived on its image as an exotic playground. Selling the Sunshine State offers a scrapbook of bygone brochures, postcards, souvenirs, and photos, all designed to lure northerners (and fellow southerners) into the peninsula.

Tim Hollis's personal collection of Florida memorabilia and mementos lies at the heart of the nearly 500 color images included. Lovingly assembled, the book is arranged according to the state’s traditional tourism department regions, including the Miracle Strip, the Big Bend, and the Gold Coast, which allows readers to discover the lost attractions and sometimes shocking appeals in promotional material created from the 1920s through the 1970s.
