The front entrance of the Hotel Champlain at Bluff Point is the clear focus here, with automobiles parked along the drive. Bluff Point sits on the shore of Keuka Lake in New York's Finger Lakes region, where summer visitors of the early 1900s typically arrived by steamboat or rail, and the cars in the picture hint at the automobile beginning to change how people reached such resorts. The Detroit Publishing Company made large-format views like this one for sale as souvenirs and travel promotion in the years before 1915. The record also notes that the glass negative was a 1949 gift from the State Historical Society of Colorado, which explains how this plate came to be preserved.
