The image is an artistic illustration of a tranquil urban street at night, featuring a prominent church with a tall steeple as the central focus. The cobblestone street is flanked by buildings on either side, leading the eye towards the illuminated church tower that stands against a backdrop of clouds and a full moon in the night sky. The scene is depicted in a grayscale tone, contributing to the mysterious and serene atmosphere. The artwork is signed by Henry R. Blaney, and a stamp from Harvard College Library can be seen in the bottom right corner, indicating the cataloging information.

The image seems to be a reproduction of a print or etching depicting an urban scene, likely from an earlier century judging by the architectural style. It shows a perspective view of a narrow street leading towards a tall, slender steeple or church spire which dominates the composition. The buildings lining the street appear to be of European architectural design with visible windows and roofing details characteristic of old town structures. The sky is populated with billowing clouds, and a full moon hangs in the sky just to the left of the steeple, adding a sense of evening or nighttime atmosphere to the scene. The street itself is devoid of people which gives the image a quiet, somewhat eerie quality. The light and shadow play across the buildings suggests either moonlight or a setting sun casting its final glow on the cityscape. There is a signature or inscription in the lower-left corner of the print that reads "96 etching R. Blaney," which suggests the name of the artist and the technique used. The number "96" might indicate the print number or a year. In the bottom center, there is a stamp indicating that the item is part of the Harvard College Library, with a classification number "77610 15."
