Early 20th century attire parents on a curved stairway on the left and all in red, raise their hands in surprise, as four yellow children with round heads and no hair (aka “goops”) hold down the bannister in a display of bedlam and willfulness next to a blue background with title and description on the right stating “A manual of manners for polite infants, with 90 drawings.”

A woman with her back turned to viewer sits in the lower left foreground looking out at a foreign and futuristic world in the distance and background with large sci-fi styled industrial ships docking at a city shore below bent metal buildings. Includes a bright star in the center of the sky above and a plane with jet stream on the left upper side.
