A horizontally oriented lithographic zinc plate depicts a line of light-skinned men in heavy coats and hats stretching from the left toward the background. On the right, a streetlamp illuminates a raised platform against blocky skyscrapers and a dark sky. Fine hatching and dense shading define the figures. Two large diagonal scratches cross the central image, and the surrounding metal plate remains a dark, matte gray.
