Lake Puckaway
Image
Sisters Lucy, left, and Jessie Underwood watch small waves on the shore of Lake Puckaway. Both are wearing large brimmed hats. There is a boat in the far background near the forested shoreline. The printed caption reads: "What are the Wild Waves Saying Down on Puckaway, Montello, Wis." The caption refers to a chapter title in Charles Dickens' novel "Dombey and Son" which had inspired popular songs and paintings in the Victorian era.
1905
