A horizontally oriented cream paper features a central sepia-toned photogravure of a rugged landscape with massive rock formations. A central path winds through the terrain, where four figures in traditional dress walk among deep shadows. To the left, a stacked stone wall supports the craggy cliffs. The composition highlights rough textures and warm brown tones. "ACOMA ROADWAY" is printed in the lower left corner of the surrounding paper.
