A vertically oriented color woodcut in muted red and light blue depicts numerous American flags fluttering against a city backdrop. Flags frame the top and sides, surrounding a central white silhouette of a building. Large, overlapping flags dominate the right, while smaller flags recede toward the center. Grainy textures appear throughout the printed areas, with loose strokes of red and blue suggesting a bustling crowd of banners against the cream paper.
