The Locomotive
1923

A black and white etching depicting a large steam locomotive on the right, with its wheels and machinery detailed, stationed under an arched structure. On the left, two figures appear to be walking alongside the train, with one figure slightly ahead of the other. The scene conveys a sense of industrial activity and the era of steam-powered transportation.
