  • Object Engraving, by N. and S.S. Jocelyn, 1828 Courtesy of New Hampshire State Library
    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.

  • Where Can I Park to Hike in Franconia Notch? Increasing Use Of
    Where Can I Park to Hike in Franconia Notch? Increasing use of trails and growing numbers of visitors in the White Mountains region can make it a challenge to find a place to park in designated parking areas, particularly within Franconia Notch State Park. The State of New Hampshire is reminding visitors that parking along the Franconia Notch Parkway/Interstate 93 is prohibited. Here are parking tips to consider when planning your hike within the park. Please note that hiking times are approximated based on ideal summer conditions and times given in the AMC White Mountain Guide.

  • 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.

Nicholas Napoli The Risorgimento and the Image of Italian Culture Ernst Renan famously articulated the cultural, political, and social ideal of the modern nation state in his 1882 lecture “What is a Nation?/Qu’est-ce qu’une nation?” Speaking in the midst of the territorial disputes over the Franco-German border regions of Alsace and Lorraine, Renan defined a nation not by geography, race, ethnicity, or language, but rather a shared sense of moral conscience that was acutely aware of its own past. He defined this conscience as the common possession of a “rich legacy of memories” and the shared desire to honor and perpetuate its values in the present day.1 He called this “the social capital upon which one bases a national idea.”2 A comparable question of political and cultural identity faced the nascent Kingdom of Italy in the middle of the nineteenth century. With Giuseppe Garibaldi’s conquest of Sicily and occupation of Naples and southern Italy in 1860, the Sardinian/Piedmontese monarch Vittorio Emanuele II could lay claim to the crown of a unified state that comprised most of the peninsula.

  • Contemporary and Historical Photographs of Pompeii As Well As
    YA L E UNIVERSITY A R T PRESS For Immediate Release GALLERY RELEASE March 2, 2018 POMPEII: PHOTOGRAPHS AND FRAGMENTS Contemporary and historical photographs of Pompeii as well as selected ancient objects offer a fresh perspective on the first-century Roman town March 2–August 19, 2018 March 2, 2018, New Haven, Conn.—The ancient city of Pompeii—both destroyed and preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in a.d. 79—has captured public imagination since it was first excavated in 1748. Questioning the established per- ception of Pompeii as a city frozen in time, Pompeii: Photographs and Fragments highlights the changing representations of the site since its rediscovery. The exhibition presents contemporary photo- graphs by William Wylie and An-My Lê, m.f.a. 1993, and a selection of 19th-century photographs by Edmund Behles, Robert Rive, and Giorgio Sommer William Wylie, Peristyle, House of the Colored Capitals or House of alongside an 18th-century etching by Francesco Ariadne (VII.4.31), 2015. Pigmented inkjet print. Yale University Art Gallery, Gift of the artist. © William Wylie Piranesi and ancient art from the Gallery’s collec- tion. Through these objects, Pompeii: Photographs and Fragments explores both the ancient history of the Roman town as well as its more recent history as an active excavation site. The exhibition was inspired by two projects that Wylie and Lê undertook during their Gallery- sponsored Happy and Bob Doran Artist Residencies in Praiano, Italy. Wylie’s large-scale photographs of Pompeii, taken between 2013 and 2017 and recently brought together in a book published by the Gallery titled Pompeii Archive, document the passage of time—the ongoing cycles of deterioration and preservation that mark the site as a living landscape.
