A vertically oriented print in black ink depicts an urban scene dominated by massive, diagonal beams of an elevated track. Broad, dark areas contrast with stark white cutouts to create heavy shadows. On the right, vertical lines define windows and zig-zagging fire escapes on a building. A small figure stands on the sidewalk below, while storefronts recede on the left. "Jack Teitelman '34" signs the lower right corner.
