- Description:
- A large leafy tree overhangs a wide dirt path along the edge of a mirror lake. At the far end of the lake is a wooded hillside in the bright sunshine. On the path two men, likely Indian, are chatting; the tree is at least ten times their height. The monochromatic image is very clear, from the leaves on the tree, to the reflection in the water, to the trees on the far bank.
- Notes:
- Matted albumen print.
