Artist

This is a drawing of a vintage trolley car. The drawing depicts a side view of the trolley, featuring two large wheels and a distinctive framework that resembles an overhead power collection system. The trolley car is labeled "NOCRRCO" on its side and has a series of windows. Details like the large "paddle wheels" on the ends of the vehicle give it an industrial appearance. The drawing is done in pen and colored inks.
