The image is extremely dark with very low contrast. Text is faint and difficult to read against the dark background.
An Art Nouveau-style book cover or title page features stylized floral illustrations. Three iris or lily-like flowers on long, sinuous stems are arranged vertically on the left side, with flowing, ornate leaves and tendrils in shades of dark green and gold. The background is a very dark brown or black. The title and author's name are printed in a subtle, dark gold font on the right-hand side of the page.

THE IMITATION

OF CHRIST
