Lake George, 1860. Creator: John Frederick Kensett
Lake George, 1860. Lake George, the largest in the Adirondacks region north east of New York state and initially called Lac du Sant Sacrament by the Jesuits, became a tourist attraction following the arrival of the railway in the 1850s. Apart from a beauty spot, it was a place imbued with historical associations and nostalgia, as it had been the scene of several military campaigns during the French and Indian War (1755-63) and during the American Revolution (1775-81)

EDITORS COMMENTS
**Lake George at Dawn**
In this breathtaking print by American artist John Frederick Kensett (1828-1872), Lake George's tranquil beauty is captured in all its glory. Created in 1860, the image showcases the largest lake in New York State's Adirondack Mountains region as it awakens to a new day. The soft mist that shrouds the surrounding peaks adds an air of mystery and serenity to this already idyllic scene.
Lake George has long been a source of fascination for artists and travelers alike, with its rich history dating back centuries. Once known as Lac du Sant Sacrament by French Jesuits, it played host to pivotal military campaigns during both the French and Indian War (1755-1763) and the American Revolution (1775-1781). By Kensett's time, Lake George had become a popular tourist destination following the arrival of railroads in the 1850s.
In this stunning print, Kensett masterfully captures not only the lake's majestic beauty but also its sense of nostalgia. The artist's use of soft colors and subtle lighting creates an atmosphere that invites contemplation and reflection on the region's storied past. **Lake George at Dawn** is a testament to Kensett's skill as a painter and his ability to evoke emotions through art, making it a treasured addition to any collection or museum.
