Arthur Wilder, an fairly well-know landscape artist and former manager of the Woodstock Inn, created this work as the frontispiece of a VHS publication on the Gay Brothers' woolen Mills.
Though much of Wilder's work reflected the existing landscape he observed on painting trips, this particular piece depicts the original Tunbridge Mill as it would have appeared in the 1870s.
Founded in Tunbridge in 1869, the Gay Brothers company quickly expanded to larger Mills first in Cavendish and then in Ludlow. Going out of business in 1944, the publication and painting helped document the impressive run of a Vermont wool enterprise.Acquisition
