Description
Photograph of a view of the lake at Westlake park (later MacArthur Park), looking southeast, 1898. In the foreground, two dirt roads converge at the edge of the lake. Through thick foliage, a canoe can be seen on the water, aimed at what appears to be a boat house in the distance. At right, a woman in a dress and a young boy can be seen under the shade of a tree at the water's edge.
