L.S. Lowry's "The Cart" is an offset lithograph from circa 1972 that exemplifies the artist's characteristic style of depicting industrial northern English landscapes populated with small, schematic figures. Printed in colours and signed in pencil, this work was produced from an edition of 850 copies by Max Jaffé in Vienna and published by the Adam Collection Ltd., bearing the Fine Art Trade Guild blindstamp. The substantial sheet size of 620 by 450 millimetres with full margins provides ample space for Lowry's detailed composition of urban life and everyday activity.
