The image is a black and white photograph of a rather large elephant standing on a small boat next to two individuals, near what appears to be a shore. The image is inverted, so whites are darker and darks are lighter.

The elephant takes up much of the center of the shot. The individuals appear to be securing it. To the left, a person is kneeling, holding a camera. The boat is resting on the water, with gentle ripples visible.

In the background, there is land with sparse foliage, and there are people walking along the shore. The sky above is dark. The image itself is a photographic negative, with dark tones appearing as light and vice versa. There are also punch holes along the top of the image. In the bottom corner, there is handwriting.
