Edward Hopper

(Shops and Delivery Wagon)
c. 1892

A pencil sketch depicting a bustling street scene with a horse-drawn cart labeled "CALLAHAN & BRO." in motion. The cart is passing by storefronts, including one with a sign that reads "CALLAHAN & BRO." and another with "LOTTA SHOE MFG." A figure stands by a cart with stacked objects, possibly a vendor, and another figure is visible in the background near the shoe store. The drawing captures a moment of early 20th-century urban life with attention to detail in the architecture and the movement of the horse and cart.
