Description

In the foreground, tall stone walls with square crenellated tops rise on the left, beside a pale rock face. Beyond them, a small stone building with an arched doorway stands among trees, and a winding road runs through the valley below. Steep, wooded mountains fill the background under a hazy sky.

Description, scan 2: Crenellated stone walls of a ruined castle fill the left foreground, with a tall corner tower and broken masonry below. Beyond, a small stone building with an arched doorway stands among pine trees above a winding track in a valley. Rugged mountain slopes rise behind, and the print sits on a card mount with a printed caption and date.
