A high-contrast, black-and-white woodcut illustration by Frans Masereel from his 1925 series "The City." The image depicts a dense, bustling 1920s metropolitan scene in a bold expressionist style. It features towering geometric buildings, industrial chimneys releasing thick plumes of smoke into the sky, and a crowded urban street filled with anonymous figures in hats and coats. The artwork uses stark, heavy lines to create a mood of industrial energy and metropolitan life.
