It is printed on a heavy stock, blank on the back with no printing on the reverse side. The text accompanying the engraving includes this description:Echo Lake is situated in the Franconia Notch of the White Mountains, in New Hampshire, and is well known to many American tourists. The lake is entirely surrounded by rugged mountains, and takes its name from a remarkable echo which answers the slightest sound, and is repeated from crag to crag until lost in the distance. The artist has chosen the sunset hour for his picture, and has clothed it with much of the poetry and repose of the scene as they exist in Nature. The sun is just sinking behind the distant mountains, and its strong rays are diffused over every visible object, and blend all in one general glow of golden-toned light. Condition: This engraving is in very good condition, with some faint toning and spotting in the outer margins and no rips or tears.
