A large crab, claws spread, rests on a dark wooden crate against a plain light background. The close view emphasizes the carapace and spiny legs, presenting the catch as a specimen. Petersburg, in Southeast Alaska, was a fishing and cannery town in the early 20th century, and local waters supplied salmon and crab.
Sepia-toned photographic print with a white margin around the image; undivided-era style stock, no writing on front.
No postmark. Unused divided-back card: no address, no message, no stamp. Handwritten inventory mark "RMLJ $4" at top edge. White border around picture; smooth glossy surface, likely real-photo stock. Light age toning, minor surface wear.
