The view looks across Phillips Lake from the shore at Lucerne, a summer village in Dedham, Maine, toward a low, rounded mountain beyond the far bank. Forest runs down to the water on both sides, and trees frame the foreground. In the early 1900s, Lucerne and Phillips Lake drew seasonal visitors for boating, fishing, and summer stays in the Maine woods.
