Description: Caption on reverse reads: "When Norwood Celebrated The Opening of its Water Works -- 1893. In an omnibus converted into a parade carriage for the occasion these belles from the village of Norwood proceeded in comparative elegance to signalize the first modern improvement in the then 100 year old community. The first young woman on the left was Ethel Knapp, daughter of John Augustus Knapp the celebrated artist engraver who made illustrations for the McGuffey Readers, John Uri Lloyd's "Etidorpha" and other popular educational works."
