Two horses are tied to a post in the background. Upper right image is titled "The Deserted Picket-hut" and shows a desolate scene with a tent-like structure covered in dirt. Bottom image is titled "Mud Huts," and shows several huts with smoke emanating from chimneys topped by wooden barrels. A man in the foreground sits on a log bench in front of one of the huts. A clothesline of drying clothes hangs in the foreground as well. Actual size of the image without the margins is 27.7 x 40.3 cm. Outline from matting is faintly visible. Slight damage at bottom margin, probably from when the image was removed from the binding. Titles taken from the table of contents.
