This is a drawing of a typographic cover page. It contains a central block of text printed in bold, capital letters on a lighter paper background. The top line reads "MILWAUKEE." Below, there are several lines providing information about a portfolio of linocuts, stating that the prints are limited to 100 copies and made from original blocks. The text also includes the name "SCHOMER LICHTNER" alongside the date "1932" and reiterates the location "MILWAUKEE."
