This signed lithograph by Al Hollenbeck, likely dating to the mid 1970s, captures Riverside's unique architecture, landscape, and character in relation to nearby Chicago.

With the Water Tower and Village signage as its focal point, the Driver Building, Township Hall, Hofmann Tower, the Tower Building, residential homes, the Library as seen from Swan Pond and the Train Station are all featured. The grey-blue shapes in the skyline and in the reflection of the Des Plaines River remind the viewer of Chicago's vast and modern skyscrapers nearby.

Albert Hollenbeck studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and was best known for his watercolor paintings of United Airlines' destination cities, which were popularized in calendars and travel posters in the 1960's and 1970's.

According to an inscription on the back of the frame, this lithograph was originally a gift "To Dorothy" from the Ames PTA in 1977.
