Air Raid Wardens
1943

A black and white print depicting three figures in a stylized, angular form. The central figure is a woman in a long coat and a wide-brimmed hat, holding a gas mask. To her right, another figure in similar attire is shown in profile. In the background, a third figure walks away, also carrying a gas mask. The scene is marked by sharp contrasts and dynamic lines, suggesting movement and urgency. The text "AIR RAID WARDENS" is inscribed at the bottom left, and the artist's signature and the year 1943 are at the bottom right.
