Here's a description of the image:

This is a vintage sepia-toned photograph, likely dating back to the late 19th century. The scene captures a panoramic view of a landscape featuring Mt. Hood in the distance, as well as the Columbia River in Oregon, near the Dalles. The photograph is mounted on a thick, light gray cardboard backing, giving it a classic feel.

In the foreground on the left, a rocky cliff face slopes down towards the river. Vegetation clings to the side of the cliff. Running parallel to the river is a railroad track, a testament to the infrastructure that was developing in the region during that era.

The Columbia River itself is wide, with various islands and sandbars visible. The water appears calm in some areas and may be shallow in others, judging by the exposed sand. A small, white building is visible near the railroad track on the opposite side of the river.

In the distance, the majestic Mt. Hood looms, its snow-covered peak a stark contrast to the flatter terrain that surrounds it. The sky is a uniform, pale tone, typical of older photographic processes.

Handwritten text can be seen at the bottom of the photograph, one reading "OREGON" in a cursive font. The title "455. Mt. Hood and the Dalles, Columbia River, Oregon" is printed at the bottom left of the photograph. The words "From the Pickerering Science fund Harvard" are handwritten on a yellowish square that is pasted to the bottom left of the mounting. The inscription "W.H. Jackson" is visible in the lower right corner of the mounting.
