Front cover design by J. Tchaikov. Text in Yiddish

Striking cover design of a man in a fringed ritual garment killing a snake. The bold image is typical of the Constructivist style, with a hint of Socialist Realism. In the background, an industrial railway bridge motif contrasts with the expressionistic energy and movement of the man in the foreground. The type-face of the title is also original and in perfect keeping with the boldness of the image below
