Description

This black and white photograph features a panoramic view of the rolling hills and outcroppings in the area the Sternberg party was excavating in Alberta, Canada. The left is black and white, and the right has sepia tones. On the left side of the left photograph, Sternberg has drawn an arrow that points to the top of the hill where the excavation team of men and horses are stopped. The far right of the photo features a river, presumably the Red Deer River, as it flows through the valley that is surrounded by buttes and outcroppings. Handwriting is below the photograph.
