Black and white illustration of people ice skating on a frozen pond. A man and woman dominate the foreground, holding hands and skating. The man wears a hat, coat, dark pants, and shoes with blades. The woman has a ruffled dress and a hat. Many others skate in the background. A sign on the right edge reads "DANCE RINK." A grassy hill and trees are visible behind the skaters. People stand on the hill. The sky above appears clear. Text at the bottom reads "SKATING ON THE LADIES' SKATING-POND IN THE CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK." The top of the image has "HARPER'S WEEKLY" printed.
