A horizontally oriented paper features a sepia photogravure of a village perched on a steep hillside. Boxy dwellings and wooden scaffolding stand on tall, thin stilts that descend the rocky slope. Dense shrubs cover the landscape on the left, while a vast, smooth body of water fills the upper right. Printed text reads "Plate 701" at the top left and "KING ISLAND VILLAGE" at the bottom left.
