Rhine at the Lurlei, by George Elbert Burr, 1900
This print depicts a grayscale desert landscape with a prominent saguaro cactus to the left. In the background, rocky mountains are visible in the darkness. The sky shows a crescent moon and a bright star through an opening in the soft gray clouds. Sparse desert vegetation is faintly visible on the ground, and more cacti can be seen in the distance.
Sand Dunes, Harlech, North Wales, by George Elbert Burr, 1899
