A horizontally oriented sepia-toned albumen print depicts a massive rubber tree with ribbon-like roots sprawling across the foreground. Center and right, textured trunks rise against a backdrop of dense, dark foliage. High-contrast light defines the winding ridges of the roots, while deep shadows settle in the troughs between them. The monochromatic image captures the intricate textures of the rough bark and the sprawling network of roots on the dark soil.
