In the Catskill state forest 1893

"In the Catskill State Forest" is a black and white photograph by Seneca Ray Stoddard, a prominent photographer of the Catskill Mountains, taken in 1893. This image, likely part of a larger publication, captures a white-tailed deer, a common sight in the Catskill region, in its natural environment. Stoddard's photograph showcases the beauty of the Catskill forests and the wildlife that call them home. It serves as a snapshot of the Catskills in the late 19th century, capturing a moment in time when the region's natural beauty was still largely unspoiled. The image's composition, with the deer positioned centrally and surrounded by the dense forest, emphasizes the deer's majestic presence and the wildness of its habitat.
