Defense of Latin America

Linocut on paper depicting a menacing armed figure threatening a man and woman. The figure at right, facing the viewer, is wearing a soldier’s helmet with an American dollar sign printed on the front; his cavernous black eyes and bared teeth suggest a skull. He is pointing a gun with an attached bayonet at the other two figures. Outlines around the bayonet suggest that the gun is in motion. The man and woman at left are shown in profile, facing the soldier, and appear to be Latin American. The man wears a sombrero and a long-sleeved shirt with the sleeve rolled up. His arm is outstretched horizontally with his hand against a vertical beam or door frame, as if blocking entry to the soldier. In the bottom left corner, white text against a black background reads, "T.G.P."
