content: Seascape sketch showing three views of icebergs near Cape St. John on the island of Newfoundland in Canada. Along the upper margin, three icebergs are shown on the water's surface and recede into the distance from right to left. At center right, a single iceberg with a pointed top and roughly pyramidal shape is included, while at center left, a larger, though also roughly pyramidal iceberg is shown with a short spire on its right edge, somewhat resembling the horn on a dragon's nose.
