A lithograph in shades of gray and black depicts a horizontal shoreline against a sand-color background. Water flows across the foreground, bordered by vertical posts. On the bank, four small buildings sit with dark windows and doors. Behind them, dense, dark foliage rises with heavy, expressive shading, filling the background. Cursive text reads "Across the Lagoon," "aug 1945," and "Mabel a. Hewitt" along the bottom.
