Image
View across ice towards a group of men, employees of the Conklin Ice House, which is in the distance, guiding horses pulling ice cutters. The horses are wearing blankets. In the foreground, grid lines are visible in the ice where the ice cutters have passed. The blanket on the horse in the center reads: "Conklin and Sons N. 15." In the background are a number of men carrying long poles. In the far background on the right is a water tower.
