A vertically oriented sepia photogravure centers a conical tipi within a dense grove of slender, pale-barked aspen trees. Light material stretches over long wooden poles, while faint plumes of smoke drift nearby. To the right, two people sit nestled in low brush and tall grass. Spindly trunks rise toward a leafy canopy filling the top half. Text at the bottom edge reads, "A CHIPEWYAN TIPI AMONG THE ASPENS."
