The only problem that I see with that theory of vantage point is the fact that the area of open water from Wolfeboro neck to rattlesnake appears to be way to small. Furthermore, if you look to the left there there is a clearing with a little "village" on a hill side doesn't really correlate to the shoreline along the eastern side of the broads. Therefore, I would then suggest the total opposite side of the lake, particularly Center Harbor. Vantage point would be southern shore looking north and the islands pictured would be half mile or maybe mile? The little village on the hill to the left is more like where the present-day village of Center Harbor is. Finally, if you look closely at the far shore, it almost looks like a natural beach, again if looking north from the southern shore you'd see the long beach just beyond where the mount is docked?
Of course, we'll never know for sure!
