You see two men in top hats talking to each other in front of a building under construction. Their faces are angular and their bodies are close together. The background shows a worker on a ladder, which adds to the scene. The interesting thing about this work is that it comments on social issues of the time. The contrast between the well-dressed men and the construction site is notable. To learn more about the method used to create this image, look up the technique: lithography.
