Sepia-toned illustration on aged paper with darker spots and cracks. Rectangular shape with slightly rounded corners. A thin border around the edge. The drawing depicts a group of people gathered around a large structure. The people are wearing old-fashioned clothing. Many of the figures are shown in dynamic poses, with curved lines suggesting motion. The scene appears to show a construction site. A bridge or causeway is being built over water. Some figures are shown in or near the water. The title "Building the Bridge to Lanka" and the artist "Seu Family" are associated with the image.
