Below, the earliest illustration of the view from Red Hill. A steel engraving from American Scenery; or, Land, Lake, and River/Illustrations of Transatlantic Nature by N. P. Willis, published in London by George Virtue in 1840. The artist was W. H. Bartlett (1809-1854), the English landscape painter who traveled widely in his short life, producing images of landmarks, city views and natural wonders for a number of travel books published in London.  American Scenery was the most popular of these, and remains a charming and historic picture of many parts of our country in the 1830's. R. Wallis engraved this view in 1837 from the Bartlett art work.



Here is another view from Red Hill, but not of Lake Winnipesaukee, but rather, of Squam Lake, which is visible from Eagle Cliff, lower in elevation and on the backside of Red Hill. This photo appeared in a 1930's vintage guidebook, "The Lakes Region of New Hampshire", published by the Lakes Region Association.
