A horizontally oriented sepia photogravure depicts a landscape with a herd of bison across a grassy plain under a pale sky. Tall grass fills the foreground. In the middle ground, several bison lie resting while dozens more stand behind them, their forms slightly hazy. In the top left, text reads "Plate 652," while "AS IT WAS IN THE OLD DAYS" sits in the bottom left corner. Warm tones create a soft atmosphere.
