About this work

This black-and-white print shows a rooftop view of old brick buildings. A sign in the center reads "Manufacturers Trust Company" with smaller text below: "Safe Deposit Vaults." The scene is dim, with smokestacks and a streetlamp in the distance. The artist used a scratchy, textured line—common in drypoint prints—to create depth. The lighting feels sharp, almost like shadows are cut from the scene. Next, check out drypoint to see how this technique works.
