This is a drawing with angular shapes and text. The top of the page shows a cityscape with geometric forms like arches and an indistinct view of a bridge or overpass. The figures in the scene have sharp, angular lines. Below the drawing, there is a block of text in German titled "DIE STÄDTE," translating to "THE CITIES." The text resembles poetry or prose. The page has an organized, symmetrical layout, integrating visual art with written word.

Die Städte (The Cities) (headpiece, page 19) from Georg Heym: Umbra Vitae (Georg Heym: The Shadow of Life)
