Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows a bustling city street with a historic two-story building. The focus is on the building's ornate architectural details, including its facade, windows, signs, and displays. The artwork uses fine-lined etching to depict textures of stonework and architectural elements. The color palette is sepia, giving a vintage look. People are depicted on the street, some wearing hats and coats, interacting, conversing, or looking at shop windows. In the distance, the upper level of the building has shuttered windows and a decorative pediment.
