This high-end version almost certainly owes its existence to the popularity of the Chautauqua Institution, founded in 1874 and pictured in the lower left foreground. The costs of creating and printing such documents presupposed investment by local merchants, buyers willing to purchase them, or both. In this pre-air-conditioned era lake resorts like those on Lake Chautaqua were popular destinations; we see railways and steamboats conveying visitors from many points of origin.

Small groups are picnicking, lounging, boating, and perhaps courting. Kensett, a second-generation painter in the Hudson River School tradition, still evokes beautiful landscapes but with a more modulated emotion than the sublime work of his predecessors. Moreover, many of the notable visual effects here point to humans in the landscape. A beam of light illuminates the white dress of one woman at center left; other points of light in the trees imply other small dramas. At right along the opposite shore there is the hint of a sailboat. And in the background a ray of light cuts across the lake.

Title A name given to the resource A Survey of Lake Champlain Description An account of the resource The full title of this map is A Survey of Lake Champlain, including Lake George, Crown Point and St. John. Surveyed by Order of His Excellency Major-General Sr. Jeffery Amherst, Knight of the most Honble. Order of the Bath, Commander in Chief of His Majesty's Forces in North America, (now Lord Amherst) by William Brassier, Draughtsman. (with) A Particular Plan of Lake George. Surveyed in 1756. By Capt. Jackson. London: Printed for Robt. Sayer & Jno. Bennett ... Augst. 5th 1776.  The two dates here are important: the first locates Capt. Jackson's surveys amidst the French and Indian Wars, when England and its rival France were battling for territorial control of North America; the second date, of course, locates publication of the map during the American Revolution. The Champlain Valley and its waterways were a critical transportation route, and accurate knowledge of its terrain and strategic points was important military intelligence. Much of that is encoded literally on the terrain here. This map was one of six in a small hand atlas designed for British officers and as such was dubbed the "Holster Atlas" for its use in the field.

He had learned during the Civil War that souvenir prints of popular generals sold well, and turned to this "album card" format during the 1870s. Twelve Adirondack Sketches was one such series of 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 cards, sold for perhaps 50 cents. Wilkie depicts the area's scenic mountains, rivers, and lakes; he also renders aspects of its tourist infrastructure and important historical sites. The cards include: 1. Paul Smith Hotel 2.

Instead, its outlet was diverted through present-day Rome and down the Hudson River. We see here the roughly similar footprints of Lakes Iroquois and the later Ontario, with another important difference being a ridge of gravel deposits resulting from the earlier lake.
