This drawing shows a busy street scene with three men in old-fashioned clothes. One guy is sitting on a bench, another is walking with a cane, and the third leans on a wall, looking up. Above them, a purple postage stamp floats in the air, showing a baseball game with players and a crowd. The buildings around them have signs like "Guard Pub" and look a little worn. The stamp in the middle reads "Centennial of Baseball" and "United States Postage," but it’s torn and crossed out with black lines. The artist mixed real and fake details—like the stamp—maybe to show how history gets mixed up in everyday life. Check out how this was made using lithography.
