This image appeared in National Geographic twice: in a September 1915 article illustrated almost exclusively with Mann’s work, and in June 1918 among coastal views by various artists. In the later magazine, the editors re-titled this picture “A Battle-ground of Nature: The Atlantic Seaboard.” Gift of Polly Lazaron from the collection of Dr. Emanuel Wallerstein 82.98.33 Exhibition History"Harry C.
