A square-formatted print in dense black ink strokes depicts a crowded street corner. Centrally, a figure in a floral shirt ascends stairs, back to the viewer. To the left, several people stand on a sidewalk near signs for "CORE" and "GIVE WAY." Fractured buildings in the background feature signs reading "MEAT CHEAP" and "APOLLO JAZZ." Jagged lines and heavy hatching create a textured, flattened perspective. Handwritten text marks the bottom margin.
