Railroad Cut No. I
1929

A detailed black and white etching depicting a rugged landscape with a railroad track running through it. In the foreground, there's a prominent telegraph pole with multiple crossbeams and wires. The middle ground shows a train passing through the rocky terrain, while the background features craggy cliffs and sparse vegetation. The artwork is signed by the artist and includes a handwritten dedication to a friend, as well as information about the print edition at the bottom.
