Description

A photograph of a view through a rounded stone arch, with a broad valley and hazy hills falling away beyond. A tree with spreading branches stands on the right and a ruined stone wall sits in the lower middle. Printed title and caption text is laid over the top and bottom of the picture, so it is a printed cover rather than a plain field print.

Description, scan 2
A rounded stone arch frames a hazy view down a wide valley to distant hills under a pale sky. A pine tree grows at the right edge beside a broken stone wall, and rubble and sparse scrub lie in the foreground. A printed title across the top and a caption along the bottom sit over the photograph, which appears as a reproduction on a printed page.
