Large, white letters spelling "STREET SCENE" are folded into a staggered, staircase formation, which extends diagonally from the poster's lower right corner to its left edge. The letters seem to be three-dimensional, and their placement gives the black background the appearance of depth. Above them. the word "châtelet" is broken into three vertical rows in small white type. To the right, two narrow columns of smaller white text give details about the opera. White text in the top right reads "Un opera americain de Kurt Weill."

The right half of an archival 1913 photograph of Chicago by J.W. Taylor, from the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago’s Burnham Library, is tipped to the left to suggest the receding streets of the city. In a contrasting movement, the word "Chicago," in the Musee d'Orsay's official Waldbaum font and aligned with the architecture, begins in the distance and looms forward wrapping around the corner of the skyscraper-filled street, ending with a large “O,” perhaps alluding to the “O” of Orsay.

Presentation drawing for the Comte de Rambuteau: At the fountain base, at the center of the main basin, are six nude figures personifying the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and four symbols of maritime fishing industries; these figures sit on prows of ships. Above them (and between the basin tier and the crowning cap) are four genii, between each of which is a dolphin (below) and a swan (above) sending jets of water into the basin tier. At the top of the fountain is a mushroom-shaped cap from which water spills to a basin tier, which in turn spills a profusion of water to the larger main basin at ground level. At the perifery of the fountain are nereid figures, each holding a fish which spouts a jet backwards towards the center of the fountain.
