Description
A stylized woman in profile with dark bobbed hair rests her clasped hands near her chin, set against a mustard-yellow textured background with a spray of purple wisteria-like blossoms at left. Bold black text reading "AVRIL" and "The Ladies' Graphic" (with Japanese katakana and kanji title text below) frames the design in a flat, poster-like layout with a cream border. The palette is limited to black, cream, mustard yellow, and violet, giving the cover a graphic, print-forward composition typical of a magazine cover woodblock print by Onchi Koshiro.
