在这个版式中，观众可以看到城市街角的鸟瞰图。Hopper唤起了一个只有几个元素的世界：一个店面，一个消防栓，和一个孤独的行人，他正要穿过横跨他小径的街灯的阴影。激发霍珀灵感的场景是纽约的一个实际地点，艺术家还把它用于他的油画“纽约角”（又称“角落沙龙”，1913年；纽约现代艺术博物馆）。这是临近河边的一条市中心街道，标志是一座带有油漆标志的简单砖房；然而，尽管这个地方很普通，霍珀通过使用深色调和强烈的构图手法，使它看起来神秘，甚至具有威胁性。观众变成一个狂，看着不知情的行人，在这么晚的时刻（甚至连酒店都关门了），关于男人目的地的可能叙述超出了图像的单一瞬间。霍珀在《夜影》这类作品中的敏感预示了二十世纪四十年代的黑色电影风格，其暗淡的灯光和罪恶、罪恶和背叛的叙述。虽然《夜影》是霍珀作品的特色，但这种蚀刻在他的作品中却是不同寻常的。计算机断层扫描。他通常只印刷自己的作品，数量很少；然而，在这种情况下，一台商业打印机“钢面”的蚀刻板“夜影”的蚀刻板，用于长时间穿戴，并印刷了数百幅图像的大版。所得到的蚀刻包括在一本名为“美国蚀刻”的对开本中，该对开本于1924年12月出版的《新共和国》杂志上。

In this print, the viewer is given a birds-eye perspective of a city street corner. Hopper has evoked an entire world with just a few elements: a storefront, a fire hydrant, and a lone walking man who is about to cross the looming shadow of a streetlight that lies across his path. The setting that inspired Hopper was an actual location in New York, which the artist also used for his oil painting New York Corner (also known as Corner Saloon, 1913; Museum of Modern Art, New York). It is a downtown street near the riverfront, marked by a simple brick building with a painted sign; yet as ordinary as this place may be, Hopper has made it seem mysterious and even threatening through the use of dark tonalities and strong compositional devices. The viewer becomes a voyeur, watching the unaware pedestrian, and a possible narrative of the mans destination at this late hour (when even the saloon is closed) extends beyond the single moment of the image. Hoppers sensibility in such a work asNight Shadows forecasts the film noir style of the 1940s, with its shadowy lighting and its narratives of crime, guilt, and betrayal.Although the imagery of Night Shadows is characteristic of Hoppers work, this etching is unusual in his oeuvre in one respect. He normally printed his own works, in very small numbers; in this case, however, a commercial printer steel-faced the etching plate of Night Shadows for longer wear, and printed a large edition of several hundred images. The resulting etchings were included in a folio titled American Etchings, published in the December 1924 issue of the New Republic.
