A vertically oriented photogravure in warm brown tones depicts a desert landscape with two people with medium-dark skin tones positioned beneath a massive, multi-armed saguaro cactus. On our left, one figure stands wrapped in a cloak while another sits on the ground. To our right, a smaller saguaro and low shrubs lead to faint mountains. Text at the bottom left reads, SAGUARO HARVEST – PIMA.
