A wide panoramic format sets this view apart, letting the eye move across the grounds, rides and crowds instead of settling on one attraction. The tall tower rising above the park was a common landmark of its day, built to draw visitors from a distance and give the amusement grounds a recognizable skyline. Early twentieth-century New York amusements, many on the seaside or at the city's edges, offered inexpensive entertainment to working-class crowds and relied on towers, coasters and bandstands to bring them in. Wide panoramic photographs like this one were a way to record an entire scene at once.
