EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing the serene beauty of Shelving Rock Mountain in Lake George, New York. The creator of this mesmerizing image remains unknown, but their talent for showcasing nature's wonders is undeniable. Lake George holds a rich history that dates back centuries. Samuel de Champlain, the first European visitor to this area, made note of its splendor in his journal as early as 1755. Later on, in 1897, Professor Geo. R. Cromwell documented his own exploration through America in his book "A Tour Through the New World America". This particular photograph was featured within its pages by C. N. Greig & Co. , a London-based publisher. The monochrome composition beautifully captures the distant mountains and evergreen trees surrounding Lake George. A few boats can be seen peacefully gliding across the calm waters, adding a touch of tranquility to the scene. As we gaze upon this historic image today, we are transported back to an era when nature's untouched beauty reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder of our connection with both history and nature – two elements that continue to shape our world today.
