Eleanor, Chicago, Harry Callahan, gelatin silver print
Rapier House, Mobile, Stanley Blake McNeely, photograph
A black and white photograph of the side of a building featuring painted and lettered siding boards. The wood grain is visible underneath the painted surface, with partial words and letters painted over a white background. The top portion of the photograph shows a partially cloudy sky with some wire poles in the distance.
This image is created with black ink on paper. Houses stand atop a steep hill, which may have been partially washed away by erosion. The houses show the peaks of four roofs, some of which may belong to the same building. Amid the houses at the left of the print is a leafless tree. The sky is streaked with dark ink.
