This is a drawing of a camel accompanied by text. The drawing features a textured illustration of a camel within a rectangular frame. The camel is depicted with two prominent humps and has a shaggy appearance, captured in a style that suggests a monoprint or woodcut technique. Below the image of the camel, there is a block of text rendered in a simple, classic font. The text reads, "CAMELS · THOSE CAMELS WHICH ARE CONCEIVED BY BORES ARE THE STRONGEST, AND FALL NOT SO QUICKLY IN TO THE MYRE AS OTHER, ALTHOUGH HIS LOAD BE TWICE SO HEAVY." The overall presentation is minimalistic, with a focus on the interplay between the image and the text.
