A vertically oriented, predominantly dark-toned ink drawing depicts a man, woman, and child with light skin tones fleeing toward us from burning buildings. In the upper right, a large black serif "H" occupies a white square. The man on our left carries a rifle, while the woman holds a bundle. In the background, thick plumes of dark smoke rise from flaming structures under a bright full moon.
