This photograph taken from an airplane in 1934 depicts Charles River and Cambridge, east from the train yards and west to De Wolfe Street. Eliot House, Winthrop House (consisting of the Standish and Gore quadrangle buldings) and Leverett House are in the foreground. Widener Library, Cambridge Common, Massachusetts Avenue, Oxford Street, and Memorial Hall are visible in the background, and the view extends further northward into Cambridge.

Panoramic photograph taken from an elevated point of view showing a vast area including city buildings in the near ground, Mount Vesuvius to the left background, and the Bay of Naples.

The panoramic views chiefly depict the Harvard environment, places where the Harvard community studies, teaches, works, researches, or lives.
