The panorama includes hunters, grazing sheep, and sailboats, but its real subject is the vivid plumage of birch, sugar maple, hemlock and scarlet oak. A century later, Cropsey's portrayal is still fresh and unspoiled, a continuing celebration of the season when, as Thoreau said, "every tree is a living liberty pole, on which a thousand bright flags are flying...
