Cedar Rapids sets two towers of nearly the same height next to each other and draws them in completely different languages, one all points and the other all flat planes. That contrast is the drawing.
What is in the drawing
A low block opens the left. A stepped tower rises beside it, and then a tower whose whole upper half is broken into pinnacles and small gables, drawn as a jagged run rather than a single outline. Next to it stands the tallest thing here, a plain tower finished with one peaked crown. A pair of steeples follows, close together, and a low hall carried on two round arches runs beneath them. A slim tower with a mast, a row of gables, and a long roof scalloped along its top close the right.
Who buys it
Cedar Rapids goes to people still in the city and to the ones who left Iowa for work elsewhere, as a housewarming or a retirement piece rather than a souvenir. The buyer usually knows exactly which of the two towers they care about.
Mug or canvas
Ink measures 0.061, middling, but it is not spread evenly: the pinnacled tower holds most of it and the rest of the picture is comparatively bare. That tower is the whole reason to choose canvas here. At 18 by 12 it is a rough edge and at 30 by 20 it is pinnacles. Width is 2.347 to 1, enough to circle a mug.
