Sailor on Boat Deck, Lucille Douglass, translucent watercolor and charcoal on paper
In this circular, black and white print, two central figures wearing hats and slickers harvest buckets of lobsters. Over the shoulders of the figures are two small boats on the water carrying a lobster pot and rowed by single figures. Another man works to the right of the central figure on the right. At the left of the composition stands a pier with a small building covered in lobster pots. At the bottom of the print, a small still life includes a lobster, a lobster pot, and a buoy.
This black and white image shows a man from the waist up with his arms stretched ot his sides. They are cut off above the elbow by the edges of the image. His hair and long beard are whipping in the wind. At the figures lower left is the face of an African American man. Behind the figure's waist are two covered wagons, one to his left and the other to his right. In the darkened background of the image, a tornado touches down on the horizon.
