Roadside Store, Vicinity Greensboro, Alabama, Walker Evans, gelatin silver print

This graphite drawing represents a desert landscape. The landscape is dotted with buildings, with at least five loosely represented.

American Radiator Building, Horace Devitt Welsh, etching

This painting represents a seascape with two waves rolling into shore breaking at the right of the composition. They break onto a rocky coastline that begins in lower center of the painting and extends up the left side of the painting. The rocks become a natural jetty that curves out to sea from the center left edge of the painting. One sailboat is close to shore and clearly identifiable, while a number of sailboats can be seen on the distant horizon.
