Allen Street (Under the El)

1929

Black and white etching depicting a street scene under an elevated train track with strong light and shadow contrasts. Pedestrians walk along the sidewalk, and vintage cars are parked and driving on the street. The architecture suggests an urban environment from the early to mid-20th century.
