| Seneca Ray Stoddard No. 452, "Game in the Adirondacks" 1889 (ca) 6 3/8 x 8 5/8 in Larry Gottheim, Be-hold, Inc Courtesy of Larry Gottheim - Be-Hold (52 / 56) LL/31028 Men play cards by firelight in front of a lean-to. The illustration in Adler "Early Days in the Adirondacks", p. 54, is lighter, and the fire itself is different, showing more of an overall glow rather than the clear sparking in this view. This reveals Stoddard's experimental approach to rendering the effect of the lighting.
