A horizontally oriented sepia albumen print photograph depicts a stone moon bridge arcing across the center. Its high circular opening reflects in still water to form a perfect ring. Sparse vegetation dots the water in the lower left foreground, while a dirt road with tiny figures leads toward the horizon on the right. A hazy, flat landscape fills the background beneath a pale sky.
