Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Three women ice skate on a frozen pond. The negative is very dark and scratched with light streaks at the bottom. The women are in shadow and their faces cannot be seen, but they wear hats and coats. There are trees 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.
