Description

This color print features two profile images of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and George Washington against a bright red background. Their white faces are outlined in thick black lines and their features and faces are drawn crudely using only black and white strokes. There are seven small white stars scattered over the red background. Beneath the portraits the caption is printed in white on a black background: "They fought - that we might live in peace and security - Why do we let accidents maim and kill."
