A horizontal sepia-toned photogravure depicts a two-masted wooden boat labeled "JEWEL GUARD" on calm water in the foreground. In the background, a steep, rocky hillside rises toward the upper right, covered with small dwellings on tall wooden stilts. Light from the right highlights the craggy terrain and rocks. Sparse vegetation is scattered across the slope. Text at the bottom identifies the scene, while "Plate 700" marks the upper left corner.
