Description
Photograph of homes and buildings surrounding Oakland's Lake Merritt, showing trees in the foreground, ca.1910. Dark, spiny trees stand in the dry grass of the lake's bank in the foreground. The serene lake resembles glass at center as it reflects the residential buildings of the far bank. In particular, a thick tower at the center of the bank is reflected faithfully amongst the trees nearby.
