A vertically oriented print in dense black-inked fine lines depicts robed people with medium-dark skin tones gathering before a massive mosque doorway. A large palm tree occupies the left foreground. Fine, dense hatching creates deep shadows among the figures. Heavy diagonal lines forming large Xs strike across the composition. In the center, handwritten text reads "Plate destroyed." Intricate patterns cover the architectural facade, revealing glimpses of the light paper beneath.
