Catalogued under the subject tags "Churches" and "Geography," this c1936 halftone is numbered 195 in a series of photoprints that Samuel Chamberlain copyrighted. Chamberlain, an etcher and photographer, documented New England's architecture and streetscapes in the 1930s, and his mass-produced halftone photoprints brought those views to a wide audience at modest cost. The record's title is only the city name, so the exact church or street is not confirmed here, but the prints reflect a period when Boston's historic buildings were drawing new interest as heritage.
