Photograph, 11.3 × 16.4 cm., The image shows an outdoor scene of a cemetery with a long wall of arched niches running across the background and a tall church or chapel with a pointed roof and spires rising behind it. In front of the niche wall are several grave markers and monuments including a few upright stone crosses, a tall dark obelisk, and a variety of headstones and fenced plots. There is a statue of a standing figure near the right side and several wreaths or floral arrangements placed on or near some graves.
