Description
A black-and-white wood engraving showing a mole seated in a small chair inside a dark, arched burrow entrance, facing a standing squirrel with a large bushy tail; the two figures clasp hands or touch paws at the center of the composition, lit by daylight streaming through the rounded opening behind them. Below the image, handset letterpress text reads "Through it all, Squirrel never asked him, 'why.' Mole loved him for that," with the artist's pencil signature and edition number ("Andy Farkas," "33/100") at lower right. The print is rendered entirely in fine black linework against a plain white ground, by Andy Farkas, medium: wood engraving & handset letterpress text, year unknown.
