A view across the lagoon at Lincoln Park in Chicago, with a low stone bridge arching over the water at left and dense trees along the right bank. Beyond the trees, the open water of Lake Michigan stretches under a pale pink and blue sky. By 1906 Lincoln Park was one of the city's established lakefront parks, and its lagoons, bridges, and harbor made it a popular place for boating and promenading.
