Sabbathday Lake, founded in 1794, is one of the 19 original Shaker sites in America. Whilst all the other sites are now just historical re-creations, this small hamlet in Maine continues to thrive as a vital centre for the Shaker faith in the 21st century. "A Place in Time" is a stunning collection of photographs by renowned photographer Stephen Williams, who has been visiting the community since the early 1970's. He draws artistic inspiration from their quest for harmony, economy, and perfection. This volume is an attempt to convey the simplicity, beauty, and grace of the Shaker faith through the medium of photography.
