A vertically oriented lithograph in black ink depicts a massive Gothic cathedral looming over a narrow street. Fine, dense strokes render the intricate stone spires and arched windows. Below, a bustling square features figures with light skin tones wearing bonnets and long coats. A covered cart stands on the left, while a man rests against a building to the right. Small birds dot the sky. Text centered at the bottom reads "CATHEDRAL ABBEVILLE."
