This image is a detailed etching depicting a street scene titled "Elmore Place - North End (Boston) - Off 115 Salem St." by artist Henry R. Blaney. The artwork portrays an old-fashioned street with cobblestones and period architecture, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century. There are buildings lining the street, some with visible shutters and signs of wear, indicating age and the rustic charm of the area. In the foreground, a woman is seen bending down near the sidewalk while holding an umbrella, suggesting a recent or ongoing rain shower, as the street looks wet and reflective. Further down the street, there is another figure walking away, also carrying an umbrella, and the overall atmosphere feels misty or damp. Above the rooftops, smoke can be seen rising from chimneys, adding to the sense of a chilly or rainy day. The etching captures a moment in time with an intimate and somewhat melancholic mood. The image has a notable attention to detail, with textures of the buildings and street rendered meticulously. A small label at the bottom indicates that this piece was cataloged by the Harvard College Library.

This image is a black and white etching or a similar print that depicts a street scene likely from an earlier century. It shows a narrow street lined with buildings that have multiple stories and appear to be densely packed together, typical of urban architecture from a bygone era. There is notable detail given to the windows, textures of the building façades, and the cobblestone street. Two figures can be seen in the scene: one in the foreground is a person walking away from the viewer, dressed in a long coat, with the outfit suggesting historical attire. The second figure, in the mid-ground, walks towards the foreground figure and seems dressed in similarly old-fashioned clothing. Both individuals are carrying what look to be canes or walking sticks. There's a detail of smoke rising from a chimney; it adds to the period atmosphere of the image. In the distance, buildings fade into a lightly sketched background, giving a sense of depth. At the bottom of the image, there's a signature that reads, "Henry R. Blaney," indicating the artist. Additionally, there's a handwritten note, "Harvard College Library," along with numbers "17610 12—" which might refer to a catalog or inventory number. On the lower left part of the image, there's more text that appears to be a publication note or a secondary title, but it's only partially visible. The overall tone of the print conveys an impression of a serene, perhaps misty or overcast, day in a bustling city from a past era.
