- Summary
- A dark New York City scene depicting two ragmen straining to pull a cart piled high with bundles of dirty clothes. Pedestrians with umbrellas hurry along the darkening city streets under the elevated trolley tracks. Touches of color dot the cityscape --bright yellow for a sign on the left and a trolley car on the right, and red for the rag bundles and the jacket worn by the ragman on the left.
