Five men sit in the stern of the ship. The man furthest back holds an oar over the side of the boat as if he is paddling. There is a man standing outside the sculpture near the bow as if looking at the sculpture. Along the lower edge are two horizontal lines with the text "20 ft." between them. Along the proper left edge are four vertical lines with the measurements: 3', 1', and 8' in the breaks, respectfully from bottom to top. Verso is covered with adhesive residue. Near the upper proper right corner is the text "# 20" handwritten in pencil.

B: Pen hatch drawing of a Tlingit boat sculpture on a base of curved poles. Boat has two sails. Illustration is viewing the boat from the bow. Four men sit in the stern of the ship. The man furthest back holds an oar over the side of the boat as if he is paddling. In the lower proper right corner is hand written text in pencil reading: "Tlingit Canoe II". In the upper proper left corner on the back is the number "10". It is written backwards so it is readable from the front. It is faded or a watermark.
