The image shows an industrial landscape with an elevated view. There is a trestle bridge with a streetcar and structures below it. In the distance, factory chimneys emit smoke into a cloudy sky. The horizon is obscured by buildings and smoke. The artwork is in black and white, creating contrast. Fine etching is used for detail.
