Few resort hotels in the Catskills were as closely tied to the mountain landscape as the Grand Hotel on Summit Mountain, which guests reached by the Ulster & Delaware Railroad. That rail line carried city visitors from the Hudson Valley into the hills, making high-country hotels practical destinations for summer stays. The print's copyright registration, noted in its record, suggests it was issued to promote the hotel and its surroundings. Dated around 1881, it captures the years when the Catskills were becoming a major retreat for travelers seeking cool air and scenic views.
