Derrick Harris made this print around 1954. It’s a wood engraving, a technique often used for books and ads since the 1700s. Harris trained under John Farleigh, another well-known wood engraver. This print shows an artist really enjoying the medium. Harris mixed humor and energy in his work, especially in books and magazines.
