This is a vintage-style illustration with a distinct, somewhat primitive aesthetic. The image is divided into two main sections. **Upper Section:** A silhouetted figure of an Indigenous boy is depicted. He is tall and slender, with a prominent headdress or hair arrangement. He is holding a small cup or container in his outstretched hand. Above him, a large, dark silhouette of a muskrat appears to be flying or falling. The background is filled with dense, stylized grass or reeds. **Lower Section:** Below a horizontal line, there's a decorative border with swirling patterns. Within this border, a silhouetted duck is shown. Below the duck, the text “SEE PS” is written in capital letters. **Overall Style:** The image is created using a black and white linework style, giving it a woodcut or etching appearance. The figures are simplified and stylized, and the composition is somewhat flat. The text above the duck reads “TSKINVSIS’KIVCHVS”. **Caption:** Below the image, the caption reads “THE INDIAN BOY AND THE MUSK-RAT. SEEPS, THE DUCK.”
