This is the cover for a book of original woodcuts by the French sculptor Aristide Maillol, titled *Daphnis and Chloe*. The cover is a simple brown paper cover with the title and artist's name printed on it. The text is in French and describes the artwork as "original woodcuts." Maillol was a celebrated sculptor of the early 20th century, known for his monumental, simplified forms and classical influences. This book would likely have contained examples of Maillol's printmaking, allowing viewers to appreciate his artistic vision in a different medium.
