"Since Thomas Cole's visit in 1828, New Hampshire's splendid scenery has been an enduring inspiration to countless landscape artists. From 1850 to 1890 this region was particularly favored for their easels. Benjamin Champney (1871-1907), New Hampshire-born painter, described the glorious era in 'Sixty Years of Art and Artists.'"
