Titled *El herido*, or *The Wounded Man*, this engraving is numbered 8 and signed and dated in pencil by Mexican printmaker Alfredo Zalce. Zalce was closely associated with the Taller de Gráfica Popular in Mexico City, a collective that used prints to address labor, war, and social hardship. A wounded figure fits that tradition of direct, humane social commentary. The Pennell Fund helped the Library of Congress acquire the work, though the catalog details on its date and provenance are unverified.
