A horizontally oriented sepia-toned photogravure depicts a dense palm grove. On the left, sharp, radiating fan fronds overlap in the foreground. To the right, massive trees are draped in heavy, fibrous layers of dried fronds. In the clearing, low wooden structures and a dark mound sit on the ground. Captioned "UNDER THE PALMS — CAHUILLA" along the bottom, the print emphasizes the contrast between jagged lines and soft, hanging textures.
