About this work

This image is a vintage book cover titled "CHANSONS DU PEUPLE" in large letters at the top. The cover features a sketch of a person in a long-sleeved shirt and pants, with their right arm bent and left arm extended. The background is a light brown color with darker brown shading around the person. The cover also includes text in French, including the names "MAURICE BOUKAY" and "MARCEL LEGAY" in large letters below the title. There are additional lines of text in smaller font, but they are not legible. The overall design of the cover suggests that it is a collection of folk songs or poetry.
