Street scene of Henry Street. People are walking on both sides of the street on the sidewalks, and there are multiple cars on the road. On the left side there are many business signs, though the buildings themselves cannot be seen, only part of the corner of one. On this corner, the signs read, from bottom to top: "Weebys Groc - ABC", "308 Club", "Barbour Shop", "Pool Parlo", "Nicks", "Brooks Drugs". A man can be seen leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette next to three trashcans. On the right side of the drawing, businesses and their cans can be seen. There is a white brick building with "BPW Cab Co", written on the side. A man is standing in the doorway. There is an empty space next to the building where two green cabs are parked. Next to this building is another with a sign reading "Horse Shoe". The tallest building in the back has "Dumas", written on the side. Telephone poles line the street. Henry Street Bridge can partially be seen in the background on the left.
