Lake George, 1874. Creator: Robert Hinshelwood
Lake George, 1874. View of Lake George and the Adirondack Mountains, New York State, USA. It is thirty-four miles long, from one to four miles wide, and is said to have a depth, at places, of nearly four hundred feet. Its long, narrow form gives it the character of a river rather than of a lake...The waters...flow into Champlain by a narrow rivulet at its northern extremity...The surface...is dotted with many small islands - one for each day in the year, so it is popularly asserted...a brilliant mirror set in among cliffs and wooded mountains, the rugged sides of which perpetually reflect their wild features in its clear and placid bosom. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1874]
