This print shows a busy night scene with sharp black lines on a light background. A Ferris wheel spins in the top half, with small figures riding it. Below, people gather around horses and tents, some holding lanterns. The shapes are simple and bold, with no soft edges. The artist used a technique where they carved into wood, then inked it to make the print. This made the lines crisp and the blacks deep. Look up woodcut to see how this process works.
