A horizontally oriented, black-and-white photogravure captures a high-angle street view dominated by dark, geometric shadows. Interlacing diagonal bands from an unseen metal structure stretch across pale, grainy pavement. In the upper right, two small figures with light skin stand together on a darker sidewalk in dark clothing near sparse tree branches. Manhole covers punctuate the ground, adding circular accents to a composition defined by stark contrast and heavy industrial lines.
