- Description:
- Looking from an elevation down a tree-filled valley at several mountains framing it in the distance. The sky is bright in the top half of the frame, and the trees are dark in the lower half. The valley of trees creates a gentle curve in across the mid-line of the image echoed by a steeper curve between the mountains. Although the mountains are far away a lot of detail is visible.
- Notes:
- Mounted albumen print.
