The cover design features “June” from Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, a French Book of Hours which includes a miniature for each month of the year. The paintings were executed by the three Limbourg brothers c. 1413-1416. In the background of the painting is the palace of the Cité, with the towers of the Concièrgerie to the left, and Sainte-Chapelle to the right. In the fields to the front of the Seine, two tedders are stacking hay, while three peasants scythe it.
