The engraving, created by an American School artist, showcases the stunning beauty of Lake George while also providing a detailed plan of Ticonderoga. The image transports us to a time when this region was embroiled in the French and Indian War. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict, nature's splendor remains untouched.
