A vertically oriented sepia photogravure features a rugged coastal landscape. On the right, a dwelling of stacked, rounded stones sits atop a rocky slope that descends toward the left foreground. Beyond the shore, a calm expanse of water leads to a steep island stretching across the background. A light margin at the bottom contains small inscriptions and a capitalized title: OLD STONE HOUSE - DIOMEDE ISLAND.
