Engraved Plate (from Sketchbook)

John William Casilear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a piece of white paper with a small engraving of a man standing on a street corner. The engraving shows a man wearing a hat and a coat with his hands clasped in front of him. He stands on a street corner with a building and arched window to his left. The building appears to have a steeply pitched roof. A tree is to his right. The sky above is cloudy. The engraving is positioned in the center of the larger piece of paper, which has a rough, textured appearance and is slightly off-center on a white background. Two thick black borders are on either side.
