Description

Cover artwork for Costa Júnior's maxixe "Pica-Pau". The cover features an illustration of a man and woman walking down a street as another individual watches, framed between the two pedestrians. The woman is depicted in realistic proportions, but the man is heavily caricaturized with lanky, long legs and feet and a long, beak-like nose. The name "U. Della Latta" appears on the cover near the man's feet, indicating the image's artist.
