Description

A black-and-white woodblock print showing a man in a hard hat and work clothes standing at the edge of a wooded lot, a crate or cage of bottles/debris at his feet, with city buildings visible in the upper left background. Deeper in the trees to the right, a metal barrel emits flames and smoke, the fire rendered as a burst of white against the dense black silhouettes of tree trunks and foliage. The scene is composed in stark high-contrast black ink with no color, giving it a gritty, urban-industrial mood rather than a pastoral one.
