The view looks up the Charles River from Prospect Street Bridge in Waltham, Massachusetts. A large tree on the grassy left bank leans over the water and is reflected below. Across the river, factory buildings, a church spire, and a red brick mill stand among trees, with wooded banks on the right. Waltham's mills along the Charles made the city an early industrial center, and the mix of factory blocks and a church spire in the scene reflects that working river landscape.
Thin white border around the image; chromolithograph-style coloring with visible screen texture; light corner and edge wear.
