RANO RARAKU FROM THE SEA. Title: The mystery of Easter island: the story of an expedition Author: Katherine Routledge Original publication: United Kingdom: Printed for the author by Hazell, Watson and Viney, 1919. The composition features the island’s rugged volcanic formation rising from the shore, rendered in delicate grayscale tones. Two distinct peaks dominate the center of the image: the left slope descends smoothly toward the sea, while the right peak is more sharply defined, showing vertical rock faces and shadowed ridges that emphasize its steepness and texture. The foreground suggests the calm surface of the sea, drawn in gentle horizontal strokes that contrast with the dark, angular shading of the mountainside. The sky is lightly toned, with minimal cloud detail, providing an open and atmospheric backdrop that enhances the sense of isolation and scale. https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/69807/pg69807-images.html#Page_124
