Chatham Sq. L 1935

"Chatham Sq. L," a 1935 woodcut by American artist Eli Jacobi, depicts a bustling scene in the city, likely in New York City. The artwork captures the energy of a bustling street corner, with an elevated train station in the background and people going about their day in the foreground. The artist's distinct use of black and white creates a stark contrast, emphasizing the urban environment and the figures within it. Jacobi's work often focused on the social and economic realities of city life, making this piece a compelling snapshot of everyday life during the Great Depression era.
