Village of Hoosick Falls is very similar in concept to popular nineteenth-century bird's-eye views of townscapes that, with their expansive perspectives meticulous recording of individual buildings and figures, touted civic prosperity. In this painting, one can even see paintings hanging inside the windows of a building in the right foreground - likely the artist's interpretation of Thomas' Drug Store, where Moses' paintings were first "discovered" by the collector Louis Caldor in 1938. https://bennington.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/4977CD5A-628F-408C-B3AA-549320005983
