The image is a woodcut illustration divided into two panels. **Top Panel (titled 'THE WRECK'):** A man stands on a cliff overlooking a turbulent sea. A large sailing ship is capsizing, with several figures falling into the water. The scene is dramatic and suggests a shipwreck. The style is simple and graphic, with strong lines and minimal shading. **Bottom Panel (titled 'HE KEEPS A RECORD OF TIME AND EVENTS'):** A man in historical clothing stands beside a tall, cylindrical stone column. He appears to be writing or marking the column. A small stream or river flows nearby, and trees frame the scene. The style is similar to the top panel, with a focus on line work and a somewhat archaic aesthetic.
