Black and white photograph of crumbling stone architectural elements. The main visible feature is a damaged stone cornice protruding from a wall. The cornice consists of a flat, decorative stone piece supported by a thick, ornate bracket. The bracket features intricate carvings. The wall behind and beside the cornice appears constructed of large, rough-hewn stone blocks. Some blocks show evidence of deterioration and crumbling. Carvings adorn the edges of the cornice and possibly the wall. The overall appearance suggests an ancient structure in a state of partial ruin. Title: Balbec by Francis Bedford.
