On the Clyde, 1917-1918: The Floor of the Train Ferry

Muirhead Bone

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of an interior view of an industrial setting. The scene depicts a large, open building with a high ceiling and a large clock visible in the background through a window. Many vertical beams support the ceiling and walls. The floor appears to be made of wood and has railroad tracks on it. Many people are present and appear to be working on the train ferry; some are standing on raised platforms, and some are on the ground. The people are wearing overalls or casual clothing. The image is a sketch or drawing with heavy lines and shading. The overall atmosphere suggests a busy and industrious scene.
