A vertically oriented etching in black ink depicts a factory interior. Rows of square ingots fill the foreground. A large crane with a claw attachment descends from a central latticed structure. To the left, a figure is visible in an elevated cabin. Geometric diagonal and vertical strokes define the trussed ceiling, creating stark contrasts between deep shadows and bright light. "Stripping Ingots" and "Jackson Lee Nesbitt" sign the lower margin.
