A vertically oriented sepia photogravure depicts textured adobe structures under a pale sky. Centered, a two-story earthen building features a wooden ladder leaning against a second-floor doorway. Small, dark window openings punctuate the hand-finished walls. In the foreground, crumbling low walls sit on sandy, rocky ground. Bright light from the upper right casts soft shadows, emphasizing the rounded corners and irregular contours of the architecture.
