label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the coastal prominence near St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, known as Cuckhold Head, as seen from Signal Hill. Dominating the composition at center, the craggy, semi-spherical hill is attached to the mainland via a rugged land bridge at left. Its steep, rocky sides plummet precipitously into the water below. Viewed from an elevated point on the nearby Signal Hill, the prominence is surmounted by the high and flat oceanic horizon, positioned along the upper margin. Waves and other surf are faintly suggested around the base of the cliffs.
