Amherst College Olio, the Mikado

Amherst College Olio, the Mikado

Pen drawing, American

A man with Asiatic features and presumably wearing a traditional outfit runs on a path holding a pole weapon, similar to a guandao, chasing a black cat. Two other people are in the background on the path and a hut is on their right and a mountain, perhaps Mount Fuji is in the background on the right. A fan is in the foreground with a number of names written: "L.F. Root, F.A. Hill, C.O(?)P. McLain, S.R. Phelps, A.C. Dicky, B.A. McCowan, J.V. Paine, A.Wales, W.S. Corsa Steward."
