DescriptionHorse drawn carriages and wagons filled with passengers share the road with many rickshaws. At right, a man rides in an unusual three-wheeled vehicle, working tall levers with both hands. Behind them, a train runs along railroad tracks at the edge of the embankment, and a steamship chugs through the water. A lively design with wonderful detail.
