View of the grand lagoon, looking east. A few rowboats are in the lagoon. A crowd surges on the Midway, restrained only by a fence on the right. The Midway Plaisance, an amusement park, is behind the crowd on the right side of the image. A boathouse and an arched bridge marking the entrance to the Grand Canal are in the background on the left. The last two establishments visible on the right are "Darkness & Dawn" and "Temple of Mirth."
