ANTARCTIC SUMMER

BY W. G. BURN MURDOCH

Image is of a group of penguins in an arctic landscape. One penguin is in the centre of the image with its beak pointing up and its wings out to the side. This penguin is surrounded by approximately twenty other penguins. About half of them are in the foreground on the bottom right side of the image and the other half are receding into the distance towards the left side of the image. The penguins are not detailed; they are drawn with thick black strokes. The landscape is also simple. The ice or snow that the penguins are standing on is indicated by white negative space. Water around the snow is indicated by black ink that stretches across the center of the image and wraps down to the bottom right corner. This image is displayed horizontally, in landscape orientation, and has a black border.
