Deserted Warehouse
1958

A vivid illustration of an urban scene featuring a weathered red brick building with faded advertisements for "Willow Grove Park" plastered across its facade. A fire escape casts intricate shadows on the wall, while a lone figure sits hunched over on the sidewalk, near a bicycle resting on its side. The scene conveys a sense of nostalgia and urban decay.
