Pen and ink on cream wove paper, circa 1941. 275x345 mm; 11x13½ inches. Ex-collection the artist, with the ink stamp and label on the frame back.

Similiar in handling, content and representations to the color screenprint Vandenberg, Dewey and Taft<>, 1941. Another curious detail in the current work is the matchbook, the cover of which reads "Thank you call again," lower left (see Prescott 5).
