Walter-Winch-Bug 1950

W. Iler's 1950 woodcut print, "Walter-Winch-Bug," is a bold and humorous portrayal of a fantastical creature. The print features a striped, worm-like figure, possibly a bug or a creature, on a wooden platform, being pulled by numerous, stylized human figures. The stark black and white contrast and heavy lines create a distinct graphic style, reminiscent of woodcuts from the German Expressionist movement. The inscription "Stork Club on to Moscow" adds a layer of social commentary, hinting at the political climate of the time.
