An image of the Statue of Liberty (from Furnival's Manhatten print) is composed of contemporary newsprint printed in green on white paper. The poem by Emma Lazarus, "Give me your tired your poor" forms the flames originating from the statue's torch. At lower left and right side, Furnival utilizes letterforms from American currency for captions. On the left, "No One Sense (Unique) Marx Mai Words" is placed underneath the American symbol for money, the American Eagle with E Pluribus Unum. This print is depicted on page 63 of Furnival's book "Lost for Words" (2011). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
