Description:
A beige square occupies the top half of the image, where two hands reaching toward each other mid-handshake are faintly visible, toned almost to blend in to the background. Above, in red capital letters, ‘Mrs Bridge,’ below, ‘& Mr Bridge.’ The bottom edge of the beige section appears like a torn edge of paper. Below, a black band with a gray arrow-head-like form at center, alongside which is the small word ‘home.’ Below, in capital white letters, ‘Evan S. Connell’; at the bottom edge, the letters A, B, C, D, and E, in what look like metallic stencils. ‘Picador’ is printed at center, above the C.
