Looking Towards Smugglers Notch, from the Nose, 1874 - A Glimpse into Vermont's Enchanting Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1874, offering a mesmerizing view of Smugglers Notch from Mount Mansfield in the Green Mountains of Vermont, USA. The image captures the essence of this picturesque location and its intriguing history. Smugglers Notch, despite its name derived from illicit activities that once took place here along the Canada border, is a place filled with countless poetic charms. As we gaze upon this scene through W. J. Linton's lens, we are transported to a time when nature reigned supreme and man-made structures were scarce. In the foreground stands a rustic log cabin nestled amidst lush greenery and honeysuckle vines. It serves as a humble reminder of human presence in this untamed landscape. Majestic mountains stretch far into the distance, their peaks shrouded by clouds that add an air of mystery to the scene. The composition beautifully showcases William James Linton's artistic prowess as he expertly captures every intricate detail - from rocky formations to rolling hillsides - all bathed in soft light that enhances their natural beauty. As we admire this remarkable piece from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant, it becomes evident why these illustrations on steel and wood by eminent American artists have become treasured artifacts over time. This print not only offers us a glimpse into Vermont's enchanting past but also reminds us of our deep connection with nature and how it continues to inspire awe and wonder even after centuries have passed.
