content: Landscape and botanical sketches showing views around a lake in the Mt. Katahdin region of Maine, possibly around Togue Pond or Millinocket Lake. At upper center, the largest sketch depicts the lake's heavily wooded shoreline and possibly an inlet. At upper right, a barren, leafless tree is shown without its trunk. At lower left, a view of an irregularly shaped log floating on the lake's surface is included. Finally, at lower right, a heavily wooded island on the lake is sketched in some detail. Waterlines are visible around its shore.
