Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Two women ice skate on a frozen pond. It is either the Frog Pond in Boston Common or the pond in the Public Garden. The women hold hands, and they both wear coats, hats, and gloves. The woman on the left wears a fur scarf. There are benches, trees, and buildings in the background. Text from negative sleeve: 424. Eastern trip, 1914. Massachusetts. Boston and vicinity. 12 pictures of skaters on the ice in the ponds on the Common in Boston. One of these is the celebrated "Frog Pond" that the school boys used to skate no during the revolution, and General Gage's soldiers broke the ice so they could not skate, and a delegation of boys called on General Gage and complained and he stopped the breaking of the ice. 12 negatives.
