This black-and-white print shows a busy street scene with a horse-drawn carriage in the center. The horse looks strong, pulling a cart that has a canopy over it. Buildings line the street, and people are walking or standing around, though their faces are blurry. The artist used a rough, textured style that makes everything look like it’s moving fast. The lines are scratchy, almost like the print was made by hand. Want to know more? Check out lithography.
