The image is a promotional graphic celebrating the 200-year anniversary of the Erie Canal. It features a historical black-and-white photograph of canal boats on the Erie Canal, with a modern blue banner overlay. The banner contains bold yellow and white text that reads, "ERIE CANAL 200 YEARS LET’S GO!" and includes the Monroe County Library System logo at the bottom left, which consists of a stylized bridge design.
