A vertically oriented photogravure in sepia tones depicts a woman with medium-dark skin tone standing in a field. Facing left with her head turned toward us, she wears a dark head covering and patterned shawl. She carries a large, textured bundle of moss on her back. Behind her stand evergreen trees under a cloudy sky. Brown tones and grain create a weathered texture, while text below reads "MOSS FOR THE BABY-BAGS-CREE."
