The view shows a formal hedge maze at Cedar Hill in Waltham, Massachusetts. Clipped green hedges wind toward a circular center that holds a small pool or stone feature and a bird statue, with trees rising behind the garden. Formal mazes and garden ornaments were popular attractions in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American pleasure grounds, and this one was promoted as a local curiosity in Waltham.
