The image is an illustration of a man standing on a cliff overlooking a river. The man is wearing a blue coat and a red hat, and is holding a book in his left hand. He is looking through a telescope at the river below. The river is lined with trees and there is a castle in the background. The sky is blue and there are a few clouds in the sky. The title of the illustration is written in red and yellow letters at the top of the image, which reads "Enhistoriste Uststilling: Rondheim: 1897". The illustration appears to be from a book or magazine, as indicated by the text at the bottom.
