Black and white illustration of a volcanic eruption. A large volcano emits a massive plume of smoke and ash. The plume is thick and billowy at the top, then narrows and extends downward. Small rocks and molten lava are flying through the air around the plume. The sky is filled with dark smoke and ash. A full moon is visible on the left, and the sky is darker at the top. The volcano sits on a hill surrounded by trees and a body of water in the foreground. A city sits on the left side of the hill. The water has several small islands. The title of the illustration is at the bottom.
