"Globe Reflection, Arbor, Council House Bluff, Portage, N.Y."

"View on the Line of the Erie Railroad"

L. E. Walker, Warsaw NY

circa 1873

The view was taken from the Council Grounds looking toward the south through the rustic arbor. The visitors look toward the famous Wooden Bridge, almost hidden in the mist of the Upper Falls.

In addition to the opportunity to study the dress of the "typical" visitor of the day, the close up below allows us to see the reflection of the Council Grounds in the Globe.
