D.W., Illustration for "Scientists, Agreeing Martians Are Super-Race,
Believe That Planet May Be Signaling to Us" (detail).
New York Tribune, February 8, 1920

Caption: "Scientists agree that the people of Mars differ from us in many ways.
The Martians are believed to have very large noses and ears and immense lung development,
because of the rarefied atmosphere. Their legs are poorly developed, because matter on Mars
weighs less than here and sturdy legs are not needed to bear their weight. Birds and butterflies
are very large and beautiful."
