The single artwork is a collage of images sourced from the public domain. Some of the images include pages from literature on the Rocky Mountain gold mine area, a scientific illustration of a Christmas rose (so named from legend that it sprouted from the tears of a poor girl who had nothing to offer the Christ child), and photos of holiday shoppers and wish lists.
