The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970. Ronald Searle's original lithograph Great Vegetable City predates that by a year. His print of a giant winged insect feeding atop city buildings capped with green sprouts is evidently intended as an environmental statement. We must never live outside of harmony with nature. That's my interpretation; I couldn't tell you what Searle was thinking.
