content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Dark Harbour on the western coast of Grand Manan Island in Canada. In the foreground, a log cabin is prominently featured at left and viewed from the rear, while its yard and fence extend across the composition to the right. Stretching across the middle distance is a seawall with a beach, which sever the ocean from the calm harbor waters, which inhabit most of the middle distance at center and right. In the distance at right, a steep and heavily wooded cliffside ascends to a flat top. In the background along the horizon, mountains and islands along the coast of mainland Canada are faintly visible.
