Source catalog description
This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.
This silkscreen print depicts four men gathered around a table. Three of the men stand facing the viewer, while the fourth sits with his back to the viewer. He uses his left hand to point at a map on the table between them. There is a short candle burning at the opposite end of the table, as well as a torch. There is a brown sheet pinned up to two trees behind the men. Tall grasses are visible beyond the sheet. The image is surrounded by a wide white margin, with the chop mark of the print shop, Workshop Inc. in the lower left corner.
