Sleeping Railroad
1926

A black and white woodcut print depicting a dramatic night scene with a lighthouse beam cutting through the darkness, illuminating a rugged landscape and a house with a visible window. The foreground shows railway tracks leading towards the lighthouse, and the sky is filled with dynamic, radiating lines suggesting the intensity of the light. The image has a signature in the bottom left corner and some text along the bottom edge.
