    Object Engraving, by N. and S.S. Jocelyn, 1828 Courtesy of New Hampshire State Library There are several conflicting accounts about the discovery of the Old Man of the Mountain, the earliest known dating from 1844. However, most of the accounts agree that the granite profile was first seen—other than presumably by Native Americans—around 1805 and that it was first noticed by members of a surveying party working and camping in Franconia Notch near Ferrin’s Pond (later renamed Profile Lake) and that just one or two members of the party happened to be in just the right spot, looking in just the right direction to see the remarkable face. In 1828, this engraving based on a sketch by “a gentleman of Boston” is the first known image of the natural profile. It was published in the American Journal of Science and Arts, making the natural wonder more widely known. Object Old Man of the Mountain, by Edward New Hampshire Historical Society Hill, 1879 1925.007.01 The White Mountains tourism boom of the nineteenth century came along with a demand from visitors for images that captured the places they had seen. During the 19th century, more than 400 artists painted White Mountain landscape scenes. Among them was Edward Hill (1843– 1923), who immigrated to New Hampshire from England as a child, bought land in Lancaster, NH, in the 1870s and established a reputation as a landscape painter. For 15 years he was the artist-in-residence at the famed Profile House, and it was during that time that he painted the Old Man of the Mountain.

  • Passing Through: the Allure of the White Mountains
    Passing Through: The Allure of the White Mountains The White Mountains presented nineteenth- century travelers with an American landscape: tamed and welcoming areas surrounded by raw and often terrifying wilderness. Drawn by the natural beauty of the area as well as geologic, botanical, and cultural curiosities, the wealthy began touring the area, seeking the sublime and inspiring. By the 1830s, many small-town tav- erns and rural farmers began lodging the new travelers as a way to make ends meet. Gradually, profit-minded entrepreneurs opened larger hotels with better facilities. The White Moun- tains became a mecca for the elite. The less well-to-do were able to join the elite after midcentury, thanks to the arrival of the railroad and an increase in the number of more affordable accommodations. The White Moun- tains, close to large East Coast populations, were alluringly beautiful. After the Civil War, a cascade of tourists from the lower-middle class to the upper class began choosing the moun- tains as their destination. A new style of travel developed as the middle-class tourists sought amusement and recreation in a packaged form. This group of travelers was used to working and commuting by the clock. Travel became more time-oriented, space-specific, and democratic. The speed of train travel, the increased numbers of guests, and a widening variety of accommodations opened the White Moun- tains to larger groups of people. As the nation turned its collective eyes west or focused on Passing Through: the benefits of industrialization, the White Mountains provided a nearby and increasingly accessible escape from the multiplying pressures The Allure of the White Mountains of modern life, but with urban comforts and amenities.

  • Lonesome Lake Distance (Round Trip): 3 1/4 Miles Walking Time: 2 3/4 Hours Vertical Rise: 1,000 Feet Difficulty : Moderate
    Lonesome Lake Distance (round trip): 3 1/4 miles Walking time: 2 3/4 hours Vertical rise: 1,000 feet Difficulty : Moderate One thousand feet above Franconia Notch is Lonesome Lake, one of the finest family hikes in the White Mountains, and a goal for climbers and visitors who take advantage of the graded trail to walk in and see a true mountain lake in a spectacular setting. No longer "lonesome," quite the opposite, the much- used trails, along with the plywood hut of the AMC, and the voices of hikers with their colorful packs and clothes, give a modern touch to the ancient scenery. The lake has been popular since the days of mountain inns after the Civil War, but still today, you cannot drive there. The only way to reach the lake is by walking. You can’t see the lake from the road below. The trail still mostly follows the old bridle path, along which many vacationers from the now-vanished hotels rode to the lake for the magnificent views of the mountains on both sides of the Notch. Legend names President Ulysses. S. Grant as one of the notable visitors. According to the story, he came to the Notch and the Profile House in 1869. A yellow coach and six bay horses driven by Ed Cox, a famous "whip," brought him from Bethlehem in fifty-five minutes—a fantastic rate of more than thirteen miles an hour. In later years, a steam train arid rails brought guests to the Profile House, -which burned in August 1923.

  • The White-Mountain Village of Bethlehem As a Resort for Health
    AS A THE White-Mountain Village OF BETHLEHEM AS A Resort for Health and Pleasure. BOSTON: PRINTED BY RAND, AVERY, & CO. 1880. INTRODUCTORY. In preparing the following pages the editor has en- deavored to present in a convenient form such information as experience has shown to be of use to the tourist and health-seeker. Eschewing all high-flown language, he has confined himself to a plain description of the town and its surround- ings. Such a work is necessarily more or less of a compi- lation, and the editor frankly acknowledges his indebted- ness to Osgood’s “ White Mountains” and to Mrs. E. K. Churchill’s pleasant little work on Bethlehem. To “ The White-Mountain Echo,” and its accomplished editor, Mr. Markenfield Addey, he also is under obligations for almost the whole of the chapter on railroads, steamer, and other methods of approach to Bethlehem. The chapter on climate is a reprint of Dr. W. II. Gedding’s article which appeared last summer in “ The Boston Med- ical and Surgical Journal,” with corrections and addi- tions, the more extended experience of the writer having enabled him to add much that is new and interesting. Although originally written for a medical journal, it is sufficiently free from technical expressions to be perfectly intelligible to the general reader. I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BETHLEHEM, ITS HOTELS, BOARDING-HOUSES, ETC. Located in the midst of a section of country abound- ing in natural beauties, the little village of Bethlehem presents a combination of attractions rarely met with at our summer-resorts. There

  • Cannon Mountain Distance (Round Trip) : 7 1/2 Miles Walking Time : 5 1/2 Hours Vertical Rise : 2,100 Feet
    Cannon Mountain Distance (round trip) : 7 1/2 miles Walking time : 5 1/2 hours Vertical rise : 2,100 feet You can ride in a Tramway cable car to the summit, so why climb Cannon Mountain on foot? Because only your own two legs can make the mountain yours. Somehow this also improves the magnificent views of Franconia Notch and Mount Lafayette. For hikers aiming to climb all 4,000-footers, Cannon qualifies by 100 feet. Skiers who have swooped down the snowy trails find that a summer climb, which pits them against this solid height unaided by Tramway or T-bars, gives the mountain new meaning. A rounded block seen from the Notch, Cannon's stark cliffs loom before you as you drive north on the parkway toward the Old Man. The mountain appears as a mass of stone on which evergreens cling with minimum success. Approach from the north, and you see its grassy ski slopes and trails like high pastures and giant paths down through the woods. For a loop over the summit, climb the Kinsman Ridge Trail from the north and descend by the Hi-Cannon and Lonesome Lake Trails, returning through the Notch to your car via the northern extension of the Pemi Trail. The Kinsman Ridge Trail begins its zigzag climb about .3 mile south of the Tramway. Watch for the main Old Man exit from the parkway and park your car. The asphalt covers a vanished field known as Profile clearing. It was once the site of the immense Profile House. As you leave your car, look up at the silhouette of the ridge south from the tramway.

  • E & HT Anthony Catalog
    Introduction The following individuals (listed alphabetically) contributed especially significant ideas or amounts of data to this project; their assistance is acknowledged with gratitude: The late Mr. A. Verner Conover, the late Dr. William C. Darrah, Mr. Jeffrey Krause, the late Mr. Frederick Lightfoot, and Mr. Russell Norton. The tedious and exacting transfer of data from the Anthony catalogs into the computer data base was done by Mrs. Patricia Treadwell. Mrs. Joleeta Treadwell greatly assisted in the compilation of information from the Conover collection. The work was supported in part by a grant from the National Stereoscopic Association's research fund. Data conversions by Wolfgang Sell. The Anthony company was among the largest producers of stereoviews in the world, as well as one of the earliest. The involvement in stereo came considerably later, however, than the initial founding of the organization by Edward Anthony in 1840. Remarkably, he was only 22 at the time but had already graduated from Columbia College and worked professionally in several fields. And it should be remembered that only in the previous year -- 1839 -- had Daguerre publicly described his photographic process. Edward Anthony studied photography under Samuel F. B. Morse, and absorbed from him not only the necessary technical information but also some knowledge of artistic matters in general. Edward Anthony Henry Anthony With his brother Henry he had been employed as an engineer on the Croton aqueduct project, and continued experimenting with daguerreotypes. In 1840 he worked with the joint American-British commission charged with determining the boundary between Maine and Canada, taking a number of images to support the observations of the surveyors.

  • Franconia Notch, NH Postmark Deadline
    Request for Proposals Old Man of the Mountain Outdoor Sculpture(s) Franconia Notch, NH Postmark Deadline: March 15, 2006 DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE The Old Man of the Mountain Legacy Fund, in cooperation with the State of New Hampshire, invites professional artists to submit outdoor sculpture proposals for a memorial commission (or multiple commissions) to be sited on the north shore of Profile Lake in Franconia Notch State Park. The Old Man of the Mountain was a remarkable natural configuration of ledge and stone slabs on the side of Cannon Mountain that created a profile of a man’s face so unusual and distinctive that it was adopted as the state symbol. Profile viewing sites were among the principal attractions of Franconia Notch State Park. The collapse of the Old Man on May 3, 2003 left a void in the collective psyche of the citizens of New Hampshire and in the attractiveness of the Park as a destination for visitors. This sculptural commission is one of several initiatives designed to appropriately commemorate the Old Man and assure that Franconia Notch State Park retains its preeminence as a scenic and recreational destination for visitors. The Profile Lake site, just below the ledge where the Old Man looked out over the valley, is a place of great natural beauty. The lake reflects the mountainside above it, offering a perfect location for contemplation about how this random assemblage of stone occurred in such perfect form and why it so thoroughly captured the public imagination. The placement of a sculpture (or sculptures) here is intended to provide a focus for those who wish to remember the Old Man and for those who never had the opportunity to see it.

SWEETSER. w K J^o ILUJU PORTLAND CHISHOLM BROTHERS. 1879. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1S79, By HUGH J. CHISHOLM, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington. Franklin Press: Electrotyped and Printed ly Rand, ATcry, &" CV., Boiton. PREFACE. fHE object of this volume is to afford to visitors among the White Mountains a souvenir of their grand scenery, as well as to enable those who have not yet seen them to obtain an idea of their exceeding majesty and beauty. In the snug houses on the slopes of Beacon Hill and Murray Hill, when the blasts of win- ter are sweeping the darkened streets, and the family gathers 'around the evening fireside, these views may serve to bring back the memories of past days of summer gladness, and renew a thousand fading impressions of beauty and delight. In one respect at least, and that an important one, the pictures herein contained are superior to any other collection of illustrations of the White Mountains. They are in no way idealized or exaggerated, as is customary in such works, but present faithful transcripts of the actual scenes as painted by the sun. They were printed by the heliotype process from photographs taken from the objects themselves, and hence are as nearly accurate as it is possible to have them. The impressions were made with printers' ink, and are as per- manent as the letter-press ; so that the fidelity of a photograph is secured, with- out its perishability.
