Engraving of a uniformed man helping a woman in a long gown climb out of stone rubble, with a Wall Street sign and church spire behind them.

Out of the Ruins

A uniformed man in a peaked cap leans among toppled stone blocks and helps a pale-gowned woman with flowing hair climb out of the wreckage. A street sign reading Wall Street and a church spire appear in the background. The black-and-white wood engraving uses dense hatching to render rubble, masonry, and figures.

Español: Fuera de las ruinas, Thomas Nast, Harper's Weekly 1873

Un hombre uniformado con gorra de visera se inclina entre bloques de piedra derribados y ayuda a una mujer de vestido pálido y cabello suelto a salir de los escombros. Al fondo se ven un letrero de Wall Street y la aguja de una iglesia. El grabado en madera en blanco y negro usa un rayado denso para representar escombros, mampostería y figuras.

Um homem uniformizado, de boné de aba, inclina-se entre blocos de pedra derrubados e ajuda uma mulher de vestido claro e cabelos soltos a sair dos escombros. Ao fundo aparecem uma placa de Wall Street e a torre de uma igreja. A gravura em madeira em preto e branco usa hachuras densas para representar entulho, alvenaria e figuras.
