About this work

A bold black-and-tan woodcut-style print shows a ragged boy standing in a street with a dark, hooded figure looming behind him, framed by a rectangular border. The large letter U and the words "for Urchin" appear beside the figure, identifying it as an alphabet plate. The work is part of William Nicholson's 1899 alphabet series.
