The image is a vintage illustration with a textured, grainy appearance, reminiscent of an old scientific or botanical drawing. It features a Martian landscape with a pink bridge and yellow railings plunging into a pale-blue and purple-tinted lake. The shores and hills are of a red color, with no green visible. The trees are of a brick-red, purple, or violet tint. Below the landscape are three separate illustrations labeled Fig. 15, Fig. 16, and Fig. 17. Fig. 15 and 17 depict plant-like structures with light-brown and yellow trunks and leaves. Fig. 16 shows a larger, more detailed plant with double-lobed flowers of a vivid red, with yellow stamens like black threads. The plant has light yellowish-brown flowers with purple petals, black stems covered with little purple leaves, and a large violet fruit with black spots surmounted by a yellow and violet plume. The trunk of the fruit is brown with black veins, with six branches of the same character ending in a yellow hook. The background is red-brick soil.
