Curatorial Remarks

As Anne Morand points out Moran did not visit Lake Tahoe in 1871, although he may have stopped there in 1872. The sketch is more closely related to his work from his 1879 visit. Morand, Thomas Moran, The Field Sketches, 174/Sandra Pauly, Henry Luce Foundation Curatorial Scholar for Moran Collection Research 3.8.22
