Trinity Bay, Newfoundland: Exterior View of the Telegraph House in 185

A large two-story building with a hipped roof and tall chimney stands on a snowy rise, its windows lit by warm light. In the foreground, two figures with a dog walk along a path past snow-laden evergreens and a wooden telegraph pole, under a heavy grey sky.

Look closer: A small dog walks beside the two figures on the snowy path.
