Let’s have a look around this photo identified as showing a portion of the Erie Canal in Rome NY. The double-barge to the right might have this Jacob Lang as namesake.

There’s no advertising here, although I’d love to linger and watch the horses pull that wagon farther up that grade and around the nearer building.

I wonder what bridge that might be, under which a team and maybe a solitary person is walking.

B. jones appears to have a plentiful supply of lumber stacked up.

Here I see three men walking along the bank, two on the unnamed barge, and two more in the distance over beyond some of the building materials.

But below is the billboard that attracted me. Isn’t it odd to have a billboard for “the greater Dreamland” in Coney Island? Just “Dreamland” suffered a fiery demise in May 1911, as described here. I believe it was not rebuilt, per this. Did it mean that the season depicted in this scene featured and better and greater set of attractions than the previous season? And I wish I could make out the smaller sign to the left, in triplicate. Does it say “Fabcarela?

Anyone help out?

Many thanks to Bill Hecht for cleaning up the image.
