Lake George, 1860. Creator: John Frederick Kensett.

Légende

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).
