The image is an etching of New York's waterfront and skyline. A dock with boats and a steamship is seen departing from the shore, creating ripples in the water. There are several smaller boats on the water, emitting smoke. The city skyline features towers, smokestacks, and suspension bridges. Fine, detailed brushstrokes portray an industrial scene in sepia and black tones.
