Toy yachts sailing on the water at Central Park in New York make this picture distinct from the larger vessels on the board. It is one of the glass negatives from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, a body of work made by the Bain News Service, a photo agency that supplied newspapers with images of New York and national news from the early 1900s onward. The catalog gives no date, and the title comes from unverified notes written by Bain staff, so the exact day and season are uncertain. Model boats on the park's pond were a familiar sight for children and their families, and the scene reflects the city's leisure life of that era.
