About this work

A two-color drawing in black, green, and red shows a seated, bearded figure beneath a tall green fern-like tree with an orange crown, beside a dark cliff and a cluster of red mushrooms. Distant mountains and a curling wisp of smoke or cloud fill the right side. The illustration is titled "In the beginning the world was warm and inhabitable" and is attributed to Hendrik Willem Van Loon, dated 1920.
