Summary

Six sightseers look at the view from atop Mount Washington. In the foreground, a man rests on his elbow with his walking stick and two finely dressed women crouch(?) behind him, the woman closest to the foreground is smelling a bottle. In the left middle ground, another man sits holding his walking stick with two women behind him, one standing and one sitting (?). Below the group on the left is the Tip Top House, the hotel at the summit of Mount Washington. In the background, people on horse back.
