This is a drawing of a typographic and illustrative composition in German featuring black and white imagery. It is divided into sections with blocks of German text and stylized black and white illustrations. The top includes human figures and a horizontal text introduction. Below, a figure appears to be looking at something against a jagged background. Alongside and below the text are simplified drawings of a cabin and mountains. The drawing is done in a woodcut style with bold lines and high contrast.
