The image shows an old, weathered book open to a page with a sketch of a scene. The sketch depicts a landscape with three houses in the background, each with thatched roofs. The houses are situated on a sloped terrain, with one house having a porch. The scene is set in a rural or possibly a colonial setting, as indicated by the style of the houses and the attire of the people in the foreground.

In the foreground, three people are walking on a path that leads to the houses. They are dressed in red uniforms, suggesting they might be military personnel or colonial officers. The path is narrow and winding, adding to the rustic and isolated feel of the scene.

The sky above the scene is cloudy, contributing to the overall somber and perhaps melancholic mood of the sketch. The title of the sketch, written in a faded, cursive script at the bottom of the page, reads "Ret Mess House - 1866." This suggests that the sketch is a historical depiction of a mess house (a place where officers or soldiers eat and socialize) from the year 1866.

The book's pages appear aged and yellowed, indicating that it is quite old. The binding is worn, and the edges of the pages are frayed, showing signs of extensive use over the years. The overall impression is one of a well-preserved historical artifact, capturing a moment in time from the past.
