content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Mt. Katahdin from the southern shore of Togue Pond in Maine, looking northwest. The nearby wooded shoreline is shown at lower left--its sandy beach curves from the foreground to the middle distance, where it comes to a point. Yellow fall foliage is shown in the distance on the opposite shoreline at center. Behind, two pointed prominences are visible in front of Katahdin--Abol Mountain and left and Rum Mountain at center. In the background, the wide, sprawling form of Mt. Katahdin stretches across the horizon, bathed in the pink light of what is probably the sunrise. The sharp peak at center is Baxter, while Pamola is visible beside it at right.
