Looking north over Spofford Lake in Chesterfield, New Hampshire, this engraving is taken from the grounds of Prospect House, a building on high ground above the water. The title spells the lake "Spafford," a variant the publisher used. Around 1885, many lakeside resorts were pictured in bird's-eye views like this one, which let viewers take in a whole property and its surroundings at once. H.B. Hall's Sons of New York produced the engraving from a drawing credited to L.R. Burleigh.
