Plate 19. Among the Timber at Head of Little Laramie River

Andrew Joseph Russell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows individuals near tent structures in a wooded area, with a view of tall trees and a steep hillside. The angle is from below looking upwards, showing the dense trees and mountain slope. The horizon is not visible due to the trees and slope dominating the view. The photograph is in black and white, emphasizing contrasts. Details of foliage and leaves are visible, reflecting early photographic techniques. The focus is on the stark delineation of trees and landscape in shades of grey.
