| Commentary: | “By and by, you find two martens, each frozen as hard as stone in its dead fall. Each of them is put into a canvas bag, which the hunter carries over his shoulder. The traps are set with bait, and you resume your journey.” (trip diary) This drawing was removed from the board and remounted on backing board. For further commentary, see #194.
