Telegraph Poles

Clarence H. White

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a dirt path beside a river or canal, with industrial buildings visible in the distance. There are utility poles running parallel to the water. The style is reminiscent of early photography with a soft focus. The color palette is muted with shades of sepia and gray. Markings and a structure are seen in the foreground, and there is a building with "produce" signage on the left. The water is calm and reflective.
