 "…he became friends with the intellectual elite of the Harlem Renaissance. His drawings and caricatures were featured in Vanity Fair, Vogue and Fortune magazines. In 1927 he illustrated Negro Drawings, which presented a more dignified image of African Americans to mainstream America. In the following years, Covarrubias also depicted Afro-Mexicans, Afro-Cubans and West and North Africans.“

From a tourist site for Rauris Valley, in Salzburger Land:

“Schnabelperchten are figures with long beaks, knitted jackets, patched women’s smocks and straw slippers, and are equipped with a basket on their backs, large scissors, needle and thread, along with a broom. The beak is artistically and elaborately bound from large sticks of wood and farmhouse linen. The Schnabelperchten make their way through town on the 5th of January, on the eve of Epiphany.”

By the way, they cut you open with their giant scissors if your house isn’t tidy. Better clean up before they come.
