A visual culture created by these and other artists of the period established new picturesque travel destinations, resulting in the emergence of a new tourist class stimulated by a belief in the transcendent value of the wilderness experience and an appreciation of landscape.
Pamela Belanger traces the island's visual discovery by New York artists, interpreting the artistic, social, and historical context of paintings, sketches, and other cultural artifacts. Scholar and long-time island resident John Wilmerding offers an appreciation of the island. J. Gray Sweeney examines how art, cultural politics, and the emerging field of visual arts production in New York led to the invention of national parks for purely aesthetic reasons.
