Two pages from an old book. Pages are yellowed. Each page has a black-lined rectangular border. Inside each border are multiple simple line drawings of cranes or similar large birds. The drawings are quick sketches focusing on outline and gesture. Some birds are standing and some are flying. On the left page, there are 10 drawings. On the right page, there are 10 drawings. The drawings on both pages are similar but not identical. The right page appears to have a small number in the bottom center. The book spine is visible on the right side and is orange.
