This photograph shows the Grand Hotel in the Catskill Mountains, a resort building that a visitor would have reached by rail and stagecoach from New York City and other eastern cities. The print is an album photograph, and its date of between 1884 and 1891 comes from an old caption card that has not been independently verified, so the exact year remains uncertain. Those decades were the height of the Catskills resort trade, when large wooden hotels with broad verandas drew summer guests seeking cooler air and mountain views. Such hotels were often pictured in souvenir albums like this one, which makes the print useful for seeing how the buildings were laid out and presented to the public.
