It was shortly after 1900 that Wallace Nutting retired from the Ministry due to ill health. As part of his recovery, he began touring the New England countryside by carriage or car, taking 'photographs' of rural America. Nutting was one of the first to recognize that the American scene was changing. Industrialization was altering the way America looked and our pure and picturesque country would never look the same again. He seemed to feel it his divine calling to record the beauty of America for future generations.
Beginning first in Vermont, then Massachusetts and Connecticut, and eventually throughout the rest of New England, Nutting began photographing country lanes, streams, orchards, lakes, and mountains. Wallace Nutting would take the photograph, assign a title, and instruct his colorists how it should be hand-tinted. Each picture that met Nutting's high standards of color, composition, and taste would be affixed to its matting and signed by his employees with the Wallace Nutting name. (He hardly ever signed any pictures by himself). Those pictures that did not meet his strict standards were destroyed. this one was done probably around 1918 to 1922, it is an original wallace nutting that has been in my family for approximately 35 years, and I understand it is quite rare! it is in very beautiful condition with its original frame and it is also for sale and the asking price is $3500.00 us a most beautiful artwork indeed...jon parsons
