Description
Photograph of passengers riding a miniature railroad on Windward Avenue in Venice, looking west, ca.1905. The train does not appear to be any taller than five feet, and its engine can be seen to the right pulling the rest of the cars which are loaded with passengers. Letters hanging over the street above read "Venice". At center, several men and young boys stand in the center of the circular track. To the right, onlookers gather beneath the awning of a romanesque building.
