A priest works in the garden, tending to the plants. Behind him is a large olive tree. In the background, barely visible, is the Golden Gate.; The collection of stereoscopic cards was originally housed in a box which looks like two books. The box is labeled "The Life of Christ Through the Stereoscope" and each of the "books" is marked either "Volume I" or "Volume II" and "Underwood & Underwood." The card is numbered at the bottom with its location (33) in the box and with the photographic number (3212). The publisher's name and locations (New York, London, Toronto-Canada, and Ottawa-Kansas) are listed on the left side of the card. "Works and Studios" for "Sun Sculpture" is printed on the right end of the card with their locations (Arlington and Westwood, New Jersey and Washington, D.C.) and the title and copyright date (1905) are printed at the bottom of the card. A book titled, "The Travel Lessons on the Life of Jesus" by William Byron Forbush (Second Edition, Revised; published by Underwood & Underwood, 1905) accompanies the stereoscopic cards.
