A moose with large, broad antlers stands to the right of two young moose that lay near him. They are set on a grassy field with a body of water in the background.
This image is created with black ink on paper. It represents a two story house with a porch to the left, built with brick on the bottom story and board on the top. The windows are in various states of disorder and on the top story some of the wood siding has fallen away, revealing the lathe and plaster of the interior walls. There are two windows in the top story and two windows in the bottom story. In front of the bottom right window there is a small outbuilding, also made of brick. There is a figure to the left of the outbuilding and another seated to the right next to a chair. Behind her stands a tree, and a second house stands behind the tree, more obscured than the first. A tree also rises from behind the upper left of the house at the left of the image.
A stand of four trees, all of which cast long shadows; one tree in the foreground, the other three in the background.
In this silver gelatin print, several images are collaged together. On the left side there is a man in a hat walking past a car. The image transitions into a building lined street. On the right of that, a closer view of a car can be seen.
