This image depicts an artistic print with strong contrasts and a sense of depth. The artwork seems to have a title and signature at the bottom, but I will not transcribe or identify them in line with the guidance given. The scene appears to represent a fantastical or surreal interior or subterranean space with towering forms that have the appearance of both architecture and geological structures. The space contains tall, narrow passageways, with the ceilings, walls, and floors marked by crosshatching and varied patterns, indicative of shading techniques used in printmaking. It may evoke the feeling of being inside a cavern or ancient ruins due to the stonelike textures and uneven surfaces. In the foreground, two characters are depicted. They are stylized and dressed in what seem to be elaborate costumes, with the left figure perhaps holding an object or performing a gesture while facing the other figure. The figures appear small in comparison to the immense and ominous environment that surrounds them, suggesting a narrative or exploration theme. The artwork style is reminiscent of early to mid-20th-century prints but without more context, the exact time period or artist influences cannot be ascertained.

This is a black and white woodcut or linocut print titled "They Built the Pyramids." The artwork creates a dramatic architectural perspective showing what appears to be the interior of a massive structure, possibly a pyramid passageway. The composition features strong geometric forms with high contrast between light and dark areas. The corridor stretches deep into the image with a series of angular supports or beams creating a sense of depth and perspective. In the foreground, there are small figures rendered in a stylized manner, appearing to be looking up at or discussing the monumental architecture surrounding them. The walls have a textured, carved quality typical of woodcut printing techniques, with bold parallel lines creating volume and shadow. The print demonstrates skilled use of negative and positive space, with the white areas particularly effective in suggesting light falling into the ancient corridor. The overall mood is one of awe and mystery, emphasizing the grandeur and engineering feat of pyramid construction. This appears to be numbered 30 out of 50, indicating it's part of a limited edition print series.

This black and white woodcut print depicts a narrow passageway or alley between tall, imposing structures. The buildings are rendered with dense crosshatching and shading, giving them a dark, foreboding appearance. The passageway cuts through at sharp angles, creating a sense of depth and perspective that draws the eye into the composition. At the bottom right, two small human figures are included, providing a sense of scale against the towering architecture. The print has an expressive, hand-drawn quality with energetic linework adding texture and movement. The stark contrast, compressed space, and dramatic lighting evoke a moody, mysterious atmosphere. The architectural forms have an abstract, stylized geometry that veers towards Cubist or Futurist influence. Overall, it is a striking, boldly graphic image with an air of urban alienation and unease.
