A Scare-crow 

"A Scare-crow" is a humorous illustration by English artist John Leech, known for his work in caricature and social satire. The drawing depicts a scarecrow dressed as a Roman soldier, complete with a helmet, shield, and sword. Leech’s work is often satirical and humorous, likely poking fun at the absurdity of war. The scarecrow, an inanimate object, is made to look like a fierce warrior, highlighting the folly of war and the disconnect between reality and perception. This simple but effective drawing exemplifies Leech’s mastery of caricature and his ability to convey a powerful message through wit.
