This print shows a group of people on a train, all looking out the window. The faces are drawn in bold black lines, with no color except for the white text. One sign in the window reads "COLORED ONLY." The main figure in the foreground wears a hat and coat, staring straight ahead. The artist used a woodcut-like method to make strong contrasts between light and dark. This style makes the faces and text stand out sharply. Next, check out technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama.
