label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing an elevated view of Petty Harbour (now Petty Harbour–Maddox Cove), in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, looking southwest from hills just north of the town. In the foreground, nearby slopes host a small hut at center right as they descend toward the middle distance. At right, a steep, rugged mountainside descends toward the center of the composition and has a rounded to. In the middle distance, the numerous structures of Petty Harbour are nestled among dramatic mountainsides. The same church visible in 1917-4-961 is shown here at the far left of the town. At far left, the hill known as Booms Head looms over the harbor town. In the background, rugged mountain tops and jagged ridges extend to the horizon.
