A vertically oriented print in black ink depicts a mustachioed man climbing a rope ladder. He wears a wide-brimmed hat and vest, holding a coiled rope. To the left, a thick mast angles across the frame. Depth and shadows are emphasized through heavy shading and hatching. White highlights pop against his face and clothes, and defined, dark lines pop against a cloudy sky. Below, the name: "James le Allen."
