These five drawings offer a comical account of a well-dressed couple, a man and a woman, playing the game of mahjong, a Chinese board game that became a popular fad during the 1920s. Created by Wanda Gág, a New Ulm-board painter, printmaker, and author, they showcase her talents as an illustrator and satirist.
