This image is created with black ink on paper. A street runs through the center of the composition, rising into a viaduct in the middle ground. On the street are automobiles and figures. At the left of the street is a building in the foreground with a power line standing in front of it. A figure sits in front of the building near the base of the power pole. At the right of the street are power lines, a rail car, and Sloss Furnaces (including a casting ched, a blast furnace, and a series of smokestacks and cooling towers). The sky in the image is clouded with smog.
