This print shows a strange, dreamlike scene in black and white. On the left, a big, blocky elephant stands near a tree with a few small dots for leaves. To the right, a horse and a cow face each other, with a person riding a bike in the middle. The background is full of jagged lines and shapes that look like plants or maybe stars. The artist used a method where ink is pressed into carved wood to make the image. This makes the lines sharp and the black areas solid. Look up woodcut next to see how this technique works.
