A three page paper written by Packard about Thomas Hill's painting "Crawford Notch," a view in the White Mountains of New Hampshire painted in 1872. Hill was born in England in 1829 to Thomas and Maria Hill. In 1844, the family settled in Taunton, Massachusetts. The younger Hill was apprenticed to a coach painter, but later moved into decorative, portrait, and landscape painting. He lived in Boston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, and briefly studied art in Paris. While living in Philadelphia in the 1850s, Hill visited the White Mountains, which other noted artists of the day also visited and painted. In the 1870s and 1880s, Hill again traveled in New England, but he was especially known for his landscapes of California. The painting of Crawford Notch which is the subject of this article was exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. (In 1984, the painting was in the collection of the New Hampshire Historical Society.).
