This is a sepia-toned photograph showing a view of a deep canyon named "Canon de Chelle," with the vantage point looking downward into the canyon. Imposing cliffs rise dramatically on either side, with their walls approximately 1200 feet high, showcasing layered sedimentary rock formations with visible striations, indicative of significant geological history.

The canyon floor is dotted with trees, including some relatively lush vegetation given the arid environment suggested by the rocky terrain. This greenery adds a touch of life to the otherwise stark and towering landscape.

The photograph also features a label at the bottom left corner, attributing the work to T.H. O'Sullivan, who was the photographer, and it is indicated to be part of the "Geographical & Geological Explorations & Surveys West of the 100th Meridian" and the "Expedition of 1873, Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler, Corps of Engineers Commanding." It is numbered "No. 46." This image was likely used for cartographic and scientific purposes, to document and understand the geography of the western United States during the time period.
