Busses in the Square
1925

A detailed etching depicting a bustling square with a dense crowd of people gathered around a tram and near an archway. Some individuals are standing on the tram to get a better view, while others are scattered around the square, including a prominent figure in the foreground. Leafy trees and buildings surround the scene, and the artwork conveys a lively, historical atmosphere.
