content: Landscape sketch showing the first part of a panoramic view of Blue Mountain Peak and its neighboring ridges in Jamaica. In the foreground and middle distance, two steep ridges at left and right descends toward a gully at lower center, forming a "V" in the landscape. Just beyond this vale, another ridge stretches horizontally across the composition, while the furrowed mountainside of Blue Mountain Peak rises to a rounded summit at upper center. The mountain is characterized by numerous ridges and subpeaks.
