A horizontally oriented sepia photogravure depicts a serene landscape cut through by a river winding from the left toward the center foreground. Along the far bank, several pale tipis cluster before a dense line of shadowy trees. Small figures on horseback wade through the shallow water near the shore. Overhanging branches and foliage frame the scene from the right. Text along the bottom edge identifies the location: "ON THE LITTLE BIGHORN - APSAROKE."
