in the foreground, and leafless trees line the
hills. A building stands on a hill in the background. There are rolling hills in the

is contained within a triple-ruled border.
The inner portion of the rectangular illustrated section depicts branches with compound
leaves set against a dark background. The
outer portion features a dense assemblage of inset circles. 1/8 page.
