During that time its uses were directed primarily to milling Adirondack lumber. Today, however, the interest is perhaps more scenic. In this photo we see Fall Island and upon it Trinity Episcopal Church, built in 1835 then expanded in 1886 using the area's distinctive red Potsdam sandstone.

Title A name given to the resource Castles in the Thousand Islands Description An account of the resource These four images come from a book of 33 views featuring the Thousand Islands, located in the St. Lawrence River as it exits Lake Ontario. Some of the photographs are focused on natural features, but a majority admire larger-than-life "castles" built on individual islands. During the 1880s-90s, wealthy families of the Gilded Age seemed determined to outdo each other in constructing opulent vacation homes that soon were dubbed "Millionaire's Row." The ones included here are as follow: 1. Dark Island Castle, built for Frederick Gilbert Bourne, president of the Singer Manufacturing Company; 2. Castle Rest, built for George M. Pullman, manufacturer of the eponymous railway cars; 3. Boldt Castle, built for George Boldt, general manager of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel; 4. Thousand Island House, an exclusive hotel whose guests included Andrew Carnegie, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Mark Twain. Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Wm. Jubb Co.

Title A name given to the resource Greenwood Lake Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource jpeg, 765 KB Description An account of the resource Cropsey, initially trained as an architect, turned to painting in the style of Thomas Cole's sublime renderings of nature. He traveled in the Northeast and Europe, gaining recognition for his increasingly vivid fall hues and more restful settings. Here we see a lake whose shoreline is shared by the states of New York and New Jersey. A group of visitors appreciates the view in foreground, with forests in early autumn and pristine waters. Crossing the lake is a steamship—which as it happens had commenced operations two years earlier due to a growing tourist industry on the lake. Like other paintings of this era showing (for example) a railroad passing through natural landscapes, even small details indicate ambivalence.

Title A name given to the resource Seneca Lake Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dove, Arthur, 1880-1946 Description An account of the resource This small watercolor uses a technique Dove called "extraction": abstracting from some landscape only those elements necessary to render it. Here we see a few lines of ink used to trees, clouds, and a power line; watercolor and gouache then complete the forms. Horizontal layers effectively capture the distinctive long shapes and surrounding hills of New York's Finger Lakes region.<br /><br />Dove was born in Canandaigua to a wealthy family, graduating from Cornell University and expected to follow a career appropriate to that education. Instead, he worked in commercial illustration and traveled to Europe; eventually upon returning to America he became friends with photographer and gallery owner Arthur Stieglitz, who encouraged his experiments with abstraction.

Title A name given to the resource View on the Erie Canal Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Hill, J[ohn] W[illiam], 1812-1879 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource jpeg, 424 KB jpeg, 5.6 MB Description An account of the resource Hill was the son of a well-known commercial lithographer, and was only 17 years old when he created this and other watercolors of the Erie Canal with an eye toward eventual publication. That never came to pass, but as historical documents the somewhat stylized paintings still are invaluable, in this case just five years after the canal opened. Here, we see two vessels passing each other along an unspecified stretch of the canal: a packet boat carrying several wealthy travelers, and a barge carrying what appears to be a load of stone. On the towpath, "hoggees" drive mules used to pull the boats. Within this one stretch there are two low bridges, over one of which a farmer is driving pigs from one field to another. It's clear that many different social and economic interests are in play, yet the overall effect is harmonious.

Bierstadt was one of several second-generation Hudson School artists associated with "luminism," a technique using aerial perspective and moisture-saturated air to create an otherworldly glow. <br /><br />Here, we see four cattle watering in a river so calm it reflects the surrounding forest. No signs of the humans who graze them are visible. At left a white steer stands apart, illuminated in a beam of sunlight. Its nearly mythical quality may reference Greek mythology and the metamorphosis of humans into animal form--whether <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Io_(mythology)" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Io transformed by an angry Hera</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_(consort_of_Zeus)" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zeus transorming himself to rape</a> Europa.
