Description

Photograph of a drawing of a view of Astoria, Oregon, 1855. A rocky beach can be seen in the foreground while small waves are visible to its left; water extends towards the background. In the center, a dock is observable, above the water, while exposing several tall wooden poles. Behind it, further to the back, a few houses are sitting along a hillside. Mountains with thick vegetation serve as the backdrop.
