LOOKING EAST FROM THE GOLDEN DOOR.—Very few views, possibly not more than one, were taken eastward from the Golden Door. That remarkable portal was so striking in itself that it did not occur, apparently, to any one of the various photographers to take any picture in its vicinity which did not include the glittering entrance. There were numerous views near the southern extremity of the lagoons, but there was only one taken at the extreme end and looking across both the East and West Lagoons toward the Manufactures Building, which gigantic structure necessarily cut off the view from everywhere. The illustration is interesting in a variety of ways. On the right of the foreground appears a large portion of the frontage of the Mining Building, and just beyond it, somewhat dimly outlined, between it and the Manufactures Building, the north end of the Electricity Building appears in more or less completeness. Immediately in front, that is, in the foreground of the view, are seen people who are drifting eastward to the Exposition’s main features, while there is a fragmentary exhibit of the shrubbery which surrounded the Wooded Island, and a distinct view, as well, of the south end of the island itself, with the bridge connecting it with the broad highway which led from it between the Manufactures and the Mining Buildings up to the Court of Honor. It is one of the odd views of scenes upon the Exposition grounds, and one likely to have value of its own because of this isolation.
