Street and building views fill the CAMDEN lettering. The composition layers city architecture behind and inside the type, giving the reader a montage instead of a single street scene.

Camden grew along the Delaware River opposite Philadelphia. Its waterfront became a shipbuilding center, and the New York Shipbuilding Company established its Camden plant at the turn of the twentieth century.
