A horizontally oriented gelatin silver print depicts a worn, open children's book centered on a white background. On the left, text and a kitten illustration are layered with translucent tape. A torn central fragment lists letters from N to V. On the right, dark, looping scribbles obscure a repetitive pattern of sketches and the words "Little Golden Books." Overlapping textures and frenetic, dark lines define the weathered composition.
