A horizontal albumen print in brown tones depicts a large elephant suspended in a wide sling above a ship's deck. The elephant faces right, its feet dangling. On the deck to the right, men with various skin tones in uniforms, turbans, and wraps watch. To the left, a man in a dark suit and pith helmet stands in a doorway. Thick ropes and rigging crisscross the background above the wooden deck planks.
