- The sketch is unsigned and unidentified, although it has "Road" written faintly to indicate a narrow road running in the foreground. An unusual building with two stories and a hinged sort of structure atop it is seen here. A sentry stands on guard near a small post. Another building is visible at left and there are trees and a small tent. The image carries over past the folded edge and onto the reverse. A military encampment is sketched faintly on the last two portions.
