Description: Scrapbook page contains one photograph of the entrance to the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. Annotated information describes the architecture and history of the site, and offers details about the artists who have contributed artworks.

Transcription: The first building on the left is the Dogana or Custom House. Its vane is a gilded figure o Fortune standing on the world. It was built in 1676. Next comes the Seminario Patriarchale of 1670 with available library a "Holy Family" by Da Vinci and a portrait by Titian. Next comes the church of Santa Maria della Salute which commemorates the deliverance of Venice from the Plague of 1630-31 which carried off 46,490 persons. From its position the church is imposing although its architecture is open perhaps to criticism. Amoung its pictures are a "St Mark" by Titian, Two beautiful Madonnas by Sassoferrato and a Marriage in Cana of which Ruskin says, "This picture by Tintoretto unites color as rich as Titian's with light and shade as forcible as Rembrandt's and far more decisive."
