'Glimpse of Lake Champlain, from Summit', 1874. View of Lake Champlain from Mount Mansfield in the Green Mountains, Vermont, USA. 'Mr. Fenn was three days on the summit of Mansfield, during all which time a dense, gray vapor enveloped all the facial features of that grand profile, and veiled the surrounding scene as completely as the curtain at the play shuts from view the splendors behind it. At last, the misty veil lifted a little; and we have as a result...a glimpse, through this parting vapor, of Lake Champlain and the distant Adirondacks'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant.
