Image
The front cover features a color illustration of a man and woman relaxing near a lake or river. The woman is sitting on a chair under an umbrella painting the farmer working in a field on the other side of a fence. The farmer is using a harvesting machine pulled by a team of two horses. The man next to the woman painting is holding a fishing rod. The back cover has a main illustration of a harvesting machine under a shed, and nearby three men are using a team of three horses to pull a large log on a sled. In the distance people are skating on a river with a church building in the background. An inset illustration at the top is of a young woman feeding birds on her snowy windowsill.
