A horizontally oriented photogravure in muted sepia depicts two people with medium-dark skin tones in a wooden canoe on a calm lake. The person on our left faces forward while the figure on the right looks toward us, their reflections rippling below. A low, grassy shoreline meets a pale sky in the background. A sandy bank curves into the lower left. Text reads, "A CREE CANOE ON LAC LES ISLES."
