label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing the lowest portion of a three-part panoramic view of the Great Basin of Mt. Katahdin in Maine. Viewed from the northern bank of Chimney Pond, the nearby rocky shoreline stretches across the immediate foreground while several semi-submerged rocks are visible in the water just beyond. The surface of Chimney Pond comprises the middle distance, while its heavily wooded opposite shoreline is visible in the background. The illustration cuts off midway up, delineated by a straight horizontal line, while caret marks at left and right indicate that this work is part of a panorama.
