A lithograph titled *Coal Hopper at 14th St.* turns its attention to a coal hopper, a large industrial structure used to store and load coal, and sets it at a specific street crossing. The record dates the print to the 1930s, a decade when many American printmakers looked to working landscapes such as railyards, docks, and factories. The artist signed both the stone and the sheet in pencil, which suggests a hand-pulled impression made with care rather than a mechanical reproduction.
