Glimpse Of Sandusky

Glimpse of Sandusky, from St. Paul's Church', 1872. View of the town of Sandusky, Ohio, on the shore of Lake Erie, USA. 'Sandusky, the "Bay City", has spread out before it a lovely view...the bay with its gently-sloping shores and island - its river coming from the south and sweeping past the town, the peninsula opposite with its vineyard, and beyond, in the broad lake outside, the wine-islands, near and far, stretching one after the other, green, purple, a cloud, a speck, a mist, toward the Canada shore'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American . Artists" Vol. I, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1872]. Artist John Douglas Woodward. (Photo by The Print Collector/Heritage Images via Getty Images)
