Here's a description of the image:

The image is a black and white scan of a book cover. The cover is a light, possibly aged color. It features the title "TRAGIGROTESKEN DER NACHT" at the top in a sans-serif font.

The central illustration is a crude sketch. It depicts a figure, possibly human, with a bag over its head and its arms and torso bound with ropes. The figure stands upright. Surrounding the figure are what seem to be lines and shapes, possibly depicting structures or abstract elements.

Below the central illustration, the author's name "WIELAND HERZFELDE" is written. The words "TRÄUME VON" are written above the author's name. At the bottom, "DER MALIK-VERLAG / BERLIN" is printed in a smaller font.

On the right side of the cover is a white sticker with the number "1987.103" in black, indicating a record or catalog number.

The style and subject matter give off a dark and somewhat unsettling feeling. The illustration's style is reminiscent of expressionistic or modernist art, hinting at the book's contents being potentially dramatic or surreal.

Here's a description of the image:

The image is a black and white photograph of a book cover. The cover is a light gray color with a disturbing illustration on it.

At the top of the cover, in capital letters, is the title "TRAGIGROTESKEN DER NACHT."

Below the title is a surreal, somewhat chaotic illustration. It depicts a figure, possibly a person, with their hands bound and a cloth or sack over their head, hanging from some kind of makeshift gallows made from beams and scaffolding. The image has a rough, almost sketch-like quality, with scribbled lines and rough shading. Around the central figure are abstract, spiral-like shapes, contributing to the unsettling mood.

At the bottom of the cover, also in capital letters, are the words "TRÄUME VON WIELAND HERZFELDE DER MALIK-VERLAG / BERLIN." This likely indicates the author (Wieland Herzfelde) and the publisher (Der Malik-Verlag, based in Berlin).

A piece of white paper with "1987.103" written on it sits on the top right corner of the cover.
