This muted, celestial blue, wide book cover has gold text and a drawn illustration of marshlands and sailboats. The text is oriented at an angle between the lower left and upper right corners. It reads, “Life and Landscape on the NORFOLK BROADS BY P.H. EMERSON and T.F. GOODALL.” In dark brown, cattails rise along the left edge, near the book’s tan-colored spine, and two boats sail away from us toward a harbor town to the right. The spine and cover are worn and scuffed, and there are a few stains.

A tall, almost sheer rock formation soaring high above snow-capped rocky peaks nearly fills this vertical black and white photograph. The rock formation is rounded along the top and continues off the top right corner and right edge of the composition. A jagged ridge dips down like a narrow wing to our left, and tall trees on the mountain peaks are made minuscule by the formation, the surface of which is textured with long vertical streaks. The sky in the upper left corner of the photograph is steely gray behind a thin ridge of white snow along the curved top of the formation.
