This black and white intaglio illustration depicts a car from the 1920s with the front of it pointed toward the viewer. The scene is set in the middle of a long, empty city street, with the car filling most of the foreground, with its prominent grille, round headlights, and an Ohio license plate from 1928 visible. On both sides of the wide street are rows of closely packed buildings containing shops, hotels, and signs. The buildings recede into the distance toward a central vanishing point, creating a strong sense of depth and perspective.
