Little Nemo in Slumberland: Climbing the Great North Pole

Winsor McCay

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a comic strip titled "Little Nemo in Slumberland." The comic depicts an arctic adventure with scenes of characters navigating through a snowy and icy landscape. The panels show icy staircases, frozen structures, and characters interacting with the environment. The artwork features fantastical elements such as spiral ice-like staircases and large arched ceilings covered in icicles. The black ink detailing emphasizes the contrast between the icy surroundings and the characters. Text likely accompanies the images in the panels to narrate the story.
