One drawing shows a man apparently with an erect penis looming over a child with a look of abject terror on her face. The story line is all too clear in this poignant post-World War I drawing. Still deploying his bravura pen-and-ink technique, Gibson imbues this s scene of courtship with a dynamic that recalls his earlier classic work, in which the beautiful young woman has the upper hand.
