This is a photograph of a vintage book cover. The cover displays a title in bold black letters reading "Les mots en liberté futuristes" and prominently features the author's name, F.T. Marinetti, at the top left. Below the title, on the left side, is the publisher's information written in Italian: "EDIZIONI FUTURISTE DI 'POESIA', Corso Venezia, 61 - MILANO 1919." On the right side of the cover, red text in a vertical orientation lists a series of words and phrases in French, beginning with the letter 'R' at the top. The background is a textured, beige color indicative of aged paper. The layout and typography reflect an early 20th-century design sensibility associated with the Futurist movement.
