A vertically oriented photogravure in sepia tones depicts a person hunched under a bundle of wood, walking toward us through snow. A dark, patterned cloak covers their body, obscuring their face and skin tone. To the right, leafless thickets line the path, while footprints mark the foreground. Grainy textures define the wintry landscape. Text at the top reads "Plate 100," and "A HEAVY LOAD – SIOUX" is printed at the bottom.
