DescriptionView of several men, women and children at what is probably Marlboro Pond/Lake Terramuggus. The picture is taken from the top of a large, steeply sloping rock. A girl, two men and a woman are sitting near the bottom of the rock, above the water's edge. Two women stand on the very edge of the rock, right next to the water. A man and four children stand in the lake. Another child stands or swims next to a boat which is floating in the middle of the water, on the left. Everyone except for the girl sitting on the rock is wearing a bathing suit.
