Description
“This magnificent setting lures the artist with camera and pallet. Such a wonderland is Mystical, ever tempting pen as well as brush. Indian folk lore, jagged, rugged country, tales of the early whites, all weave an inviting pattern for lovers of beauty, and of the struggles of Man for the knowledge he is constantly seeking.” [Text, verso]
This lovely guide to Oregon’s Crater Lake area was published for the 1937 season by the Crater Lake National Park Company. A central pictorial map, signed by the author in the lower right (George Andrew Corlty?), shows a charming overview of the region centered on the volcanic caldera. Nearby attractions, recreational opportunities, and natural beauty are represented with illustrated vignettes. Color photographs, a rate list, transportation details, and a history of Crater Lake are also included on the sides and verso.
