A vertically oriented albumen print depicts a towering, tiered stone monument topped with a cross. Centered, the structure features receding layers of pointed Gothic arches, resting upon a massive brick platform enclosed by ornate metal railings. Two sets of stairs flank the platform, leading up from a rugged, rocky foreground. Sunlight from the left casts deep shadows across the right side, emphasizing the tower's architectural depth against a pale, featureless sky.
