Merchants of Death
1935

A black and white illustration depicting a parade of caricatured figures in formal attire, including top hats and coats, following a grinning skeleton playing a fiddle. The skeleton is leading the group with exaggerated, lively steps. In the background, there are faint outlines of buildings and a bird flying. The image has a caption "To Death" and is signed "André Dignimont - 1935."
