To round out the series of off erings, we displayed over 160 photographs primarily by contemporary photographers from the collection of my brother Christopher S. Hyland.

John Haberle: American Master of Illusion and Inspired Innovations: A Celebration of Shaker Ingenuity will add signifi cantly to the scholarship of a neglected American artist and of the role of the Shakers and their infl uence on American culture. Both publications will be distributed nationally by the University Press of New England. Over the last several years, the Museum has published many other catalogues.
