Description
This remarkable full cover design is quite modern with a touch of Art Nouveau in the flowing chimney smoke. Vertical lines create the reflection of the shoreline in the river. This effect was created using only two colors on a background of gray cloth. Unfortunately, we have yet to identify the designer “CYR.”
