Peace dove and bombs
Description
Depicts twenty bombs in four rows of whizzing uniformly through the air. In the opposition direction, and in the middle of the bombs is a peace dove, flapping its wings furiously in a bid to dodge the bombs. The satirical cartoon was created by Sean Leahy in response to the First Gulf War (1990-1991).
