A horizontally oriented photogravure in warm sepia tones depicts a herd of bison across a flat grassland. In the foreground, several animals lie in the grass facing right. In the middle ground, dozens more are scattered; some rest while others stand in profile. The figures become hazier as the landscape stretches toward a pale sky. Text centered at the bottom reads, "AS IT WAS IN THE OLD DAYS."
