The Riva Schiavoni at Venice. The photographer is looking north from on board a cruise ship in San Marco Basin showing two gondolas and an open boat of similar size being sculled in the foreground. Just to the left of centre on the Riva Schiavoni is the equestrian statue of Vittorio Emanuele II 1887 by Ettore Ferrari and behind the statue is the Grano Londres Hotel. On the left is a building with Alberdo Savoia & P. Jolanda on it and on the extreme left is the Restaurant Savioa e Caffe.
