Artist, American, born 1878

The image shows a cityscape with a bridge over a river and boats along the embankment. There are tall buildings along the horizon, with a tower and spire rising above them. The artwork features detailed linear etchings, giving the scene texture and depth. The color scheme is sepia and brown, creating an aged look. The style captures reflections on the water and depicts the river with rippling lines. Arches of the bridge frame more buildings and trees in the distance.
