A burgundy cover with a striking white title; the author's names at the top. Three illustrations taken from the body of the work enliven this generally understated presentation. At the upper right, a tree-trunk man, half-man, half-tree whose waist and head are ringed with leaves. On the left, a woman covered with an animal skin and towards the right, at the centre, a chimera, with a lion's body and a man's head. These illustrations are in black on a cream-coloured background.
