Description
Photograph of a view from a balcony of motorboat racing on a lake, ca.1930. The silhouettes of three people are visible in the foreground along with a metal fence that sits in front of them. Seven motorboats that seem to be going fast glide to the right of center in the background. In the center of the background, a group of people watch the race from wooden platforms elevated out of the water while people to the left watch from the water's edge. A tree covered hill is visible in the background.
