The repeated perspective shows a respect for the vernacular forms though it is unclear if the photographer's interests were architectural or historical in nature. The photographer travelled throughout New England with the breakdown of churches as follows: 206 in Massachusetts forty-six in Connecticut forty-eight in Maine eighty-six in New Hampshire sixteen in Rhode Island and six in other states. <br /> <br /> A fine collection impeccably preserved in the original albums which read "Memories" on the front. unknown books
