Description
Signed Helios in rock lower right, obscure.
For a related half-stereograph variant, see BANC PIC 1971.055--ALB v.5:59.
A sepia-toned, horizontal landscape photograph captures a wide, calm body of water flanked by mountainous, evergreen-covered terrain. In the immediate foreground, a rocky, sloping shoreline on the left features a small group of four people dressed in dark, heavy clothing sitting among the stones, looking out toward the water. A thin, dark steamship with four masts sits stationary in the center of the bay, its reflection visible on the glassy surface. In the background, a small settlement with several light-colored wooden buildings and a taller structure sits at the base of a dense, forested hill on the right. Further in the distance, a large, rounded mountain peak rises behind the ship. Handwritten in cursive at the bottom center of the photograph are the words "Fort Wrangle." On the right-hand margin of the mounting board, there is vertical handwritten text that includes "1905.17137(146)" and "reg available."
