The Railroad
1922

A black and white etching depicting a rural landscape with a tall, slender tree in the foreground, a row of houses with multiple chimneys to the left, and a series of telephone poles receding into the distance alongside a curving railway track. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills, and there is a figure standing near the tree. The image has a border of white space with handwritten text at the bottom.
