Man emerges from an artificial womb
A frontal human figure steps out of a dark rectangular chamber into a broad, stark landscape. Cloud-like black forms gather above the head while the outstretched hands and parted feet suggest tentative movement. The supplied edition labels the image as the original frontispiece, Man emerges from an artificial womb.
