She first used the medium of drypoint but by the late 1920s was using lithography, etching and pastel in her satirical works. Of the 17 books, mainly poems and short stories, that Bacon wrote and illustrated, one of the most memorable is Off with their Heads! (New York, 1934), which contains 39 devastating caricatures, drawn and written, of political and cultural leaders of the Depression era. Listings wanted.
