Curatorial Remarks

According to Anne Morand, the artist visited Rangeley Lakes in 1873, but she notes that two of the Gilcrease sketches are dated 1876. As no documentation has been found recording a visit in 1876, Morand concluded those dates were added later when Moran received a commission from Scribner’s magazine and that the Gilcrease sketches were completed during the 1873 trip.
