Black-and-white stereophotograph or stereocard mounted on a white card showing a waterfall amid a wintry landscape. The back of the card is yellow. There is a rectangular piece of white paper affixed to the back of the card. Printed on this label in black is "No. / Water-Fall, Tacony Creek. / "And see where it has hung, the embroidered links, / With forms so various that no powers of art, / The pencil or the pen may trace the scene." A numeral "2" has been written in black ink next to the word "No." The word "links" has been crossed out with a pencil; written in pencil above it is the word "banks." Additionally, the numeral "3(?)8" is written in pencil in the top right corner of the label. Directly below the label, "No 74." is written in pencil. There is also a letter "M" written in pencil along the bottom edge of the back of the card.
