Description
While this original is undated, it's from 1931, the year that Sir Hubert Wilkins and his crew took a submarine expedition to the North Pole. The trip began in early August 1931, lasting until the end of the month, when faulty equipment presented a real danger when dealing with ice floes. Sweigert's cartoon presents a humorous look at the expedition, which must have really captured the attention of the public at the time. The combination of ink and light charcoal works quite beautifully in this piece.
