Logging Train
1928

Illustration of a vintage steam locomotive in a forested area, with logs piled alongside the tracks. Smoke billows from the train's stack, and a figure stands on the locomotive, suggesting a scene of early industrial logging activity. The drawing is rendered in sepia tones, giving it an antiquated feel.
