A vertically oriented photogravure in muted gray tones depicts wooden barges on a river. On the right, the hull of the 'MARY K' looms over dark water rippled with soft reflections. To the left, a low vessel anchors the foreground while 'NO 16 A' floats further back. In the hazy distance, a white paddle steamer appears as a soft, ethereal silhouette against the pale sky.
