Copper Mine, Butte
1935

A black and white etching depicting an industrial landscape with buildings, smokestacks, and a large mining structure on a hill. Power lines crisscross the sky, and a dramatic cloud formation looms overhead. In the foreground, railroad tracks curve alongside a road, and a metal bucket lies overturned near the tracks. The scene conveys a sense of early 20th-century industrialism. There is a signature in the bottom right corner.
