This pen and ink drawing is part of a series signed John R. Byng. It is an artist's depiction of an imaginary American town in the early twentieth century celebrating the Fourth of July. A couple in the foreground reads the posted "day of events|" a parade fills the streets| American flags adorn poles and windows| and a train blows smoke as it rounds the bend.
