View of the Manitou Soda Spring in Manitou Springs, Colorado, looking north; shows the rustic gazebo with its branch uprights and benches, the boulder at the confluence of Ruxton and Fountaine qui Bouille, and a group gathered around the stone ring-basin from which the spring originates. The men are in sack suits and Homburg hats; the women are fashionably dressed in straw hats, bonnets, draped flounced overdresses and parasols. One woman has a midlength topcoat with large jet buttons, another has a one-piece dress with small, white buttons from shoulder to ankle in an asymmetrical line. Scrub dotted mountains fill the background.
