Title	ERIE CANAL. DURHAMVILLE, N.Y. [handwritten front caption] (1front) [e0586ac1]
Creator	[unknown]
Subject--front	Canals Canal boats Shrubs Houses Lumber Reflections Rural Towpaths Trails & paths Trees Utility poles People Sepia postcards Panoramic views
Description--Front	Sepia postcard of a canal in Durhamville, N.Y. Two connected barges piled high with lumber are heading up the canal; a sign on the stern announces that the barge is the "Charlie S Floy". There are decorative swirls on both sides of the name. A smaller sign underneath lists the name of the town "Caughenoy", flanked by swirls. In a section next to the lower left swirl can be seen the words "Ira M. Rose". At the back of the boat is a small cabin, dwarfed by the lumber in front and the hoisting machinery behind it. The elegantly bent crane has been secured to the right. On the left side of the canal five people can be discerned half way up the tow path: three are walking abreast, one is standing, and one is crouching, facing the water. - The right side of the canal is flanked by a street that T-bones away from the canal, some trees, some open land, utility poles, a small residential house in the forefront (partly obscured by trees and by what appears to be a bed sheet on a clothes line) and a large farm house further down the road with an enormous roof. The photographer took the picture standing on a stone ledge which reverts to a brush-covered slope a few feet further away. - The photograph only fills approximately 4/5th of the card; there is an unexposed area on the right side of the card where the photograph is cut off.
