content: Landscape sketch showing an elevated view of Petty Harbour (now Petty Harbour–Maddox Cove), in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, looking south from hills north of the town. In the foreground, steep hillsides at left and right frame a diminutive view of buildings in the town--one building with a tower (possibly a church) is prominently visible at center right, beside what could be a rising plume of chimney smoke. Another indistinct structure is shown beside it at left. A prominent hill known as Booms Head looms immediately above the tower at center right, while behind it, rolling terrain extends to the horizon. In the background at left, the Atlantic Ocean is visible.
