On the Amazon Book Cover 

8

This image depicts the cover of the book On the Amazon by C.A. Stephens written and designed around the beginning of the 20th century. On the cover is a stylized man holding a gun. He is wearing a red shirt and wearing a hat. The background features a cut out of an illustrated forest. Centered at the top of the cover is the title in bold, all-caps, serif text. This style of literal realistically illustrated objects or people falls in line with design trends of this era. This would have been around if not right before Art Nouveau when a more human, naturalistic approach to design was popular.  This book was published by Hurst & Co and the designer is unknown.
