Art in Cambridge and Boston—Photographs by Laughlin At the Fogg Museum of Art

It mentions his prints include views of New Orleans and that he has over 4,000 negatives of iron-work designs.

• Manley Butler, whose oil paintings and watercolors of Cuba, Bermuda, and New England are on exhibit at the Twentieth Century Club.
