Mount Adams and the Peabody River in Pinkham Notch
Alvan Fisher
Oil on canvas, 24 1/2 x 20 inches
Signed & dated lower left center (see below):
AF(conjoined) / 1857
Titled verso (see below): Mount Jefferson, on the Route from Gorham to the Glen
House, N. H.
Comments
The mountain is misidentified as Jefferson when, in actuality, it's Adams. Fisher, in all likelihood, made this error by relying on an 1850s map of the White Mountains by Bond where Jefferson and Adams are mislabeled.
