Black and white image of a plate with a scalloped edge. The plate has a white background with a black floral design around the edge. The floral design includes flowers, leaves, and scrollwork. In the center of the plate is a circular scene depicting a harbor with buildings along the shore, a body of water, and several boats. A small sailboat is in the foreground, and a larger ship is in the background. The plate appears to be old and worn.
