The image is a page from a book titled "Indian Sign Talk". It features three sections, each demonstrating a sign and its equivalent meaning. W. 16: A hand is depicted with the index finger extended vertically and moving up and down, representing a suppressed whistle. The equivalent meaning is simply "WHISTLE". W. 17: Two hands are shown. The first sign for "TAIL" is followed by extending the left index finger forward. Then, with the end of the right index, strike it towards and past the end of the left. The equivalent meaning is "WHITE", described as the tip of a deer's tail being white. W. 18: A face with a hat is drawn. The index or the whole hand is drawn back up across the forehead, referencing the sign for "TEXAN". The equivalent meaning is "WHITES. WHITE MAN.". The page number 179 is visible at the bottom. The style is a black and white illustration with handwritten text describing the signs and their meanings.
