The view looks across Raquette Lake toward the Antlers, a resort hotel that anchored the lake's summer colony in the Adirondacks of northern New York. Visitors in this period typically reached the lake by rail and then by steamboat, and the hotel grounds, with their cabins and recreation buildings, catered to vacationers seeking the cool air and wooded scenery of the mountains. The Detroit Publishing Company, known for its travel views, made many such images of resorts and scenic destinations for sale to tourists, so this glass negative offers a record of how the Adirondack lake country was promoted and seen in the early twentieth century.
