We would like to thank Honorary Board member James B. Lyon for his recent gift of 41 books on old New England, most of which were produced by Samuel Chamberlain (1895-1975), a veteran of World War I, an architecture professor at MIT, and a photographer/printmaker who produced a series of excellent and popular books on New England locales.  Most of these books were signed by Chamberlain, and are welcome additions to the Watkinson’s collections relating to architecture, photography, and New England-ana.
