Davy Crockett
n.d.

A black and white illustration depicting a surreal scene with a large, menacing figure wearing a mask and a traditional Japanese robe wrestling a giant salamander. In the background, a group of smaller figures appear to be running away or dancing. The artwork is detailed with expressive lines and shading, creating a dynamic and somewhat unsettling composition. The artist's signature is visible in the lower left corner.
