Flotilla

Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

This silkscreen print depicts a flotilla of ships just off a beach. The ships, some black with tan trim, and some grey with black trim, are scattered across the deep blue ocean surface. There are waves where the water meets the gray, clouded horizon. All the ships except for one fly the French flag. The beach, a golden brown color, is bare except for a few strands of grass and a single black tree. The image is surrounded by a wide white margin, with the chop mark of the print shop, Workshop Inc. in the lower left corner.
