A horizontal, sepia-toned albumen print depicts two elephants and three men among wooden beams on a muddy shore. In the foreground, an elephant faces our left, its trunk curled around a squared log while a shirtless man sits on its back. To our right, a second elephant and rider face away. A metal chain encircles the front elephant's rear leg. In the background, a figure stands near a hazy body of water.
