Bakersfield is drawn as a low town rather than a downtown. Nothing in it towers, and the tallest shapes are a spire and a slab that only just clear the roofs around them.

What is in the drawing

A tower under a pointed finial opens the left beside a slim shaft carrying an onion cap, the two of them standing over a low building with a pitched roof. A shallow arch then carries a bridge across the middle ground, drawn with a second line under its span. Behind it a broad hall rises to a gable with an arched doorway cut into its front. A long arcade of small round arches runs on from there, and the right end lifts into a plain tall slab and a tower finished with a spire.

Who buys it

Central Valley pride is a real thing and this is what it buys. It sells to families who have farmed or worked oil in the county for generations, and it is given at birthdays and anniversaries rather than picked up on a trip.

Mug or canvas

At 2.147 to 1 this is as close to the mug band as anything in the batch, within four thousandths, so the wrap closes on itself almost exactly. Coverage of 0.058 is moderate. The arcade of small arches is the one passage that punishes a small print, because the arches are narrow and evenly spaced and they blur into a band. Everything else in the drawing reads fine at 11oz.
