A horizontally oriented sepia photogravure depicts six figures in hooded parkas rowing an open boat toward our right. In the foreground, white-capped waves churn against a rocky shore. The rowers appear slightly hazy against the choppy water and a massive, dark landmass that spans the background distance. Text at the bottom reads, "DIOMEDE BOAT CREW, ASIATIC SHORE IN DISTANCE," while "Plate 705" is printed in the upper left corner.
