Myron Bement Smith (MBS) received a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship to study Italian brickwork and stone work. He travelled extensively in northern Italy and along the Dalmatian Coast photographing architectural features of local buildings. Information about his fellowship, the logistics of his field work, his photograph albums and architectural sketches were retained with his other papers after his death. The negatives from his Italian photographs were donated to the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University.
