Subject matter
Earle Winslow's illustrations were included in The Saturday Evening PostCosmopolitanWomen's Home CompanionLiberty, and Outdoor Life. This was probably intended for same function as it was a drawing for a half-tone illustration.

Winslow was the creator of the "Bingville Bugle" comic strip, from which entertainer Bing Crosby adopted his name. He created posters and instructional material (on commission) for the U. S. Marines and the Forestry Service. Winslow studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Detroit School of Fine Arts, and apprenticed at the Cargills Newspaper Engraving Plant. Later, Winslow studied with George Bellows and John Sloan at the Art Students League in New York City. 

Physical Description
This print shows a scene of a crowd of people on a street corner, most under the sign for Elm St. Some of the adults in the drawing have upset facial expressions. Many carry loaves of bread. One man climbs the street sign pole, a girl stands behind him, and a bicycle leans against the pole. The men in the drawing wear suits and shirts; the women wear dresses and hats. In the background, a boy in roller skates sits on the curb.
