Para celebrar seus compatriotas e contemporâneos, Demuth produziu nos anos 1920 uma série de retratos em cartazes simbólicos de pintores, escritores e artistas do mundo do entretenimento. Esta obra é dedicada ao poeta William Carlos Williams, cujo poema “A grande cifra” inspirou o título e a iconografia. Como no poema, o carro de bombeiro nº 5, tocando a sirene, corre debaixo de chuva pelas ruas iluminadas por postes. As formas, palavras e linhas fragmentadas que denotam movimento e som são derivadas do cubismo francês e do futurismo italiano, mas o tema urbano, a noção de escala e as bordas que estruturam a composição são puro precisionismo americano.
