Mond (Moon) (headpiece, page 17) from Georg Heym: Umbra Vitae (Georg Heym: The Shadow of Life)
The image is a page from a book with a black and white illustration positioned at the top. The illustration depicts a stylized landscape with a circular shape in the center, resembling a full moon, and simplified natural forms like trees or plants. The horizon is marked by a horizontal line. The bold and graphic brushstrokes give a woodcut style appearance with high contrast. The monochromatic color palette consists of black ink on cream paper. Below the illustration, there is German text in several stanzas with the heading "MOND" at the top, and the page number "17" is printed at the bottom right corner.
