Caption: Coal Town, by Thomas J. Armour, Pittsburgh. This winter landscape, Coal Town, depicts a view through the backyards of a small town. In the distance on the left, there is a coal tipple next to a railroad track; below it railroad cars wait to receive their cargo. Through the trees rising up from picket-fenced yards sits a small country church, on its spire a small cross is visible.
