Artist, American, born Canada, 1894 - 1942

The image shows a tall, ornate street lamp with a pointed top and multiple panes of glass. Two signs labeled "FIFTH AV." and "WEST36TH" are prominently featured. The lamp is primarily rendered in a deep green color, with lighter highlights accentuating its cylindrical shape, set against a plain, light beige background. The lamp stands upright and centrally positioned in the image, with the bottom touching the lower edge, suggesting it extends upward almost the full height of the frame.
