Photograph of "Going to the Marrienda", a drawing of couples on horseback, from Walter Colton's "Two Years In California", 1850-1859. A man with a dark suit, large hat, and long hair sits towards the rear of the front horse at center with a lady in a dark dress and lightly-colored shirt sitting in front of him. The darkly-colored horse in an intricately-embroidered saddle has all four legs off the ground as does the horse of the second couple on the right. The first couple rides next to palm trees which stand above a row of dark bushes and rocks on the left while the several other couples are faintly drawn against the pale mountainside on the right.; Photoprint reads "'Going to the merrienda (picnic)', illustration from Walter Cotton's 'Two Years in California' published in Philadelphia in 1853".这幅题为《前往马里恩达（Marrienda）》的插画为骑马情侣群像，节选自沃尔特·科尔顿（Walter Colton）1850年至1859年间刊行的著作《加州两年记》（*Two Years In California*）。画面中央靠前的马匹上，后方坐着一位身着深色西装、头戴宽檐帽、留着长发的男子，其身前则是一位身穿深色长裙、内搭浅色衬衫的女士。这匹配有精美刺绣马鞍的深色骏马四蹄腾空，右侧第二对情侣所乘的马匹亦是如此。左侧第一对情侣的坐骑旁生长着棕榈树，这些树木坐落于一排深色灌丛与岩石之上；右侧的浅淡山坡背景中，还隐约勾勒出其余数对情侣的身影。该照片印制品标注文字为："《前往马里恩达（野餐，picnic）》，节选自沃尔特·科顿（Walter Cotton）1853年于费城刊行的《加州两年记》一书的插画"。
