This is a drawing of a book cover with a red and black color scheme featuring stylized figures and text. The cover presents a composition of geometric and abstract shapes, alongside blocky, stylized figures. There is an angular design on the top section of the cover, and the title "Neben der Heerstrasse" is displayed in thick, black letters. The full title on the right side reads "Erzählungen von Jakob Bosshart." The style may resonate with early 20th-century graphic design movements.
