Wolf Fork Valley, Joseph Marino-Merlo, pencil on paper
Two birds are depicted flying towards the left. The upper bird opens its mouth wide. Two nests are depicted at the bottom of the composition, shown facing forward and in profile. This image is set against a light blue background.
This image is created with black ink on white paper. It represents an assembled version of Birmingham’s skyline from the 1930s, including the Thomas Jefferson Tower, the Watts Building, the John Hand Building, and the Jefferson County Courthouse. In front of the skyline in the middle ground are two large cylindrical gas holders. Two thirds of their scaffolding is visible, and only the bottom third of the tanks contain gas. In front of the gas holders are a series of small commercial buildings, houses, and a bridge with a road passing beneath.
