Under the Elevated
c. 1899

Illustration of a bustling street scene with people and horse-drawn carriages on a snowy day. Buildings with signage, including a hotel and saloon, line the background, while various figures navigate the snow-covered ground in the foreground. The artwork captures a moment of daily life from a bygone era, with attention to the play of light and shadow on the snow.
