A horizontal albumen print depicts a landscape with a river winding through a valley between steep cliffs. To the left, a massive rock face is defined by deep, parallel vertical grooves. The river flows around a pale sandbar in the foreground. On the right, terraced hills rise toward a flat-topped mountain peak. The sepia-toned photograph uses light and shadow to emphasize the textures of the rugged terrain.
