The image shows a page from a document titled "THE MARTIAN CYCLE AND LANGUAGE". It features a series of handwritten symbols or characters that appear to be an unknown script. The symbols are arranged in three lines, with each line containing a sequence of unique glyphs. The writing is dark and appears to be done with a pen or similar instrument on a light beige or off-white background. Below the script, there's a caption that reads: "Fig. 21. Text No. 16: séance of August 22, 1897 - First Martian text written by Mile. Smith (according to a visual hallucination). Natural size. [Collection of M. Lemaître.] - Herewith its French notation." To the right of the caption are the words "astane esenale pouze mene simand mira. ini.". The page number "205" is visible at the bottom center.
