I love old black and white photography and am rather fond of Longfellow so I was more than pleased to find a copy to purchase of Longfellow's WAYSIDE INN, A Camera Impression by Samuel Chamberlain. When opening this book, one immediately recognizes Americana, and this book beautifully depicts the four seasons at the Wayside Inn some of my favorite images are B's. Ballroom, Bar Room, Barn, and Birches.
