This is a black and white illustration depicting two men sitting on a grassy embankment, looking towards a large industrial factory complex. The factory is the dominant feature in the background, with multiple smokestacks billowing thick plumes of smoke into the sky. The factory buildings are densely packed and appear to be sprawling. A wooden fence runs along the embankment where the men are seated, separating them from the factory. The men are depicted in profile, with one appearing older and bearded, and the other younger. They are both looking towards the factory with a somber expression. The foreground is filled with dense grass and some small trees. The sky is filled with clouds and smoke from the factory. The illustration is captioned with the words 'This here progress,' said Tom Smallways, 'it keeps on.'
