Architecture and botanical sketch from Mexico showing a view of a tower with adjoining buildings and a tight grove of trees. A left, a cylindrical tower or turret is shown with a pointed top and two floors with windows, as to shorter, rectangular buildings are attached to it at right. What is possibly a road faintly leads away from the buildings at center. At right, a dense grove of trees is shown. Their billowing canopies combine into a singular mass above their numerous, dark trunks. Graphite on beige wove paper
