Long Lake 1891

"Long Lake" is a photographic print from 1891 by Seneca Ray Stoddard, a prominent American photographer of the late 19th century. This small, 113 mm by 175 mm print captures a serene scene of a lake, likely Long Lake in New York State, with a group of people in boats and on the shore, a view that would have appealed to the picturesque sensibilities of the time. Stoddard was known for his landscape photography, particularly of the Adirondack Mountains, and this image, likely printed for a book or a magazine, provides a glimpse into his artistic vision of the natural beauty of the region.
