The magic of the Low Country, the rice coast of South Carolina and Georgia has been captured with rare beauty and fidelity in the paintings of Alice R. Huger Smith. Her water-colors of sea-island beaches, of sea marshes, of black waters in cypress swamps, and of Carolina gardens has been a great history of the glories of her State.

They had a son Nelson Doubleday Jr. (1933–2015) and a daughter Neltje (1934–2021), named for Nelson's mother.
