A horizontally oriented photogravure in sepia tones depicts a coastal village against a pale sky. In the foreground, long, narrow boats rest upside-down on a textured sandy beach. Behind them, a thin line of posts supports fishing nets. In the background, sod and wood dwellings blend into grassy mounds where small figures sit. Text inscriptions appear in the top left and bottom margins of the cream-colored paper.
