A black and white photograph showing at the top a multistory building with the sky in its background, the lower part of the building is obscured from view by a fence wall. In the middle portion of the photograph is a close range perspective view of a brick wall, possibly upside down. Towards the lower half of image is a metal grill in the background with a large image of possibly crumpled paper, the light casts shadows and highlights in its folds and crevices.
This image is created with black ink on paper. Its background is dominated by a tall group of six buildings in downtown Birmingham, including a group of four buildings that comprise the “Heaviest Corner on Earth” and the City Federal Building, which is only seen as a small segment behind the Heaviest Corner. In the foreground of the etching are buildings of a smaller scale and through them runs railroad tracks. A street runs beneath the railroad tracks through an underpass, and a number of people walk on the street.
Sailors Home From The Sea (Etretat on the Normandy Coast, France), Samuel Chamberlain, drypoint; sepia
This image represents an idealized nude man laying on his proper right side on the bank of a river. The figure gazes at his reflection as he touches the water. He sits under the outstretched limb of a tree to his left, and behind him is a landscape.
