Fair Is Our Land, edited and designed by the architectural photographer and etcher Samuel Chamberlain (published by Hastings House in 1942), is a pictorial anthology celebrating the rural and small-town landscape of the United States.

• Focus and Scope: The volume intentionally bypasses heavy industry and bustling metropolises to concentrate on the quiet essence of the American countryside, traditional architecture, coastlines, and agricultural heartlands.

• Visual Content: Featuring over 350 illustrations, the book compiles striking black-and-white photographs, etchings, lithographs, and drypoints created by prominent American artists and photographers.

• Tone and Context: Released shortly after the United States' entry into World War II, the book carries a patriotic undertone. An introductory essay frames the visual collection as a reminder of the foundational heritage and scenic beauty worth defending.
