Printed description:
"The Lookout, Grand Canyon, Arizona. The telescope in this tower is not the usual type of single—barrel machine. It is constructed exactly like an opera glass, and the layman experiences no difficulty in seeing through it, as it needs no more adjustment than any ordinary opera glass and the field of vision is ten to twenty times greater than through the ordinary single—barrel machine. The north rim of the Canyon thirteen miles away, with its forest of pines, appears only half a mile away through the telescope. This machine has been installed for the benefit of visitors to the Canyon, and no charge is made to anyone."

Transcription:
"Did you go out here & look through the telescope? I did."
