Artist, American, 1902 - 1993

This print shows a riverboat on the water from a slightly elevated angle. Behind the boat, a group of buildings line the bank. The buildings vary in design, with multiple windows and different rooftops, and some appear in disrepair, with wooden boards at odd angles. The boat on the river is heading to the right, angled slightly away from us. Inside the riverboat, the outlines of some people are visible, although we can’t see any details. The print is mostly black, with thin white lines creating the scene. There is a border of off-white paper around it.
