This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A color linocut in black, yellow, brown and blue depicting architectural elements from the facades of multiple buildings. At bottom right, a figure stands next to an entrance with a small domed roof overhead. A square cupola topped with a sphere is just above and to the left of the figure. Just right of the center are several decorative balustrades and at top right are two tall but narrow windows, each with an arched top. Along the top and sides are multiple bold, flowing lines and there is a thick black border around the entire outer edge of the print. The sheet has been cut around the shape of the image and there are no marks or inscriptions, front or back.
