Bread Of Heaven

Inside the image.

A square cover combines a colour photograph of a crowded rugby stadium with a white panel of large printed lettering across the bottom. In the photograph, three singers stand in the foreground on the pitch, each holding a microphone. At viewer left, a fair-haired man in a dark jacket, pale shirt and bright red tie wears a long red scarf. Near the centre, a woman with reddish-blonde hair wears a long black outfit and sings into a microphone held close to her face. At viewer right, a dark-haired, bearded man in a black coat and red tie wears a matching red scarf and holds his microphone near his mouth. The two men flank the woman, who is slightly farther back; their bodies are visible down to the lower legs, though the white title panel covers the bottom of the image.

Behind them, a line of rugby players in dark tops, white shorts and red socks stretches across the pitch. Some stand with their arms at their sides while others appear to have their arms around teammates. The green grass forms a narrow strip along the bottom of the photograph. Beyond the players, densely packed stands rise across the background, filled with spectators and broken up by railings and bands of stadium structure. The crowd is softened by distance and photographic blur. The composition is busy and layered, with the singers prominent against the broad line of players and the mass of spectators. A small portrait photograph of a smiling man in a dark jacket appears at the lower right of the white panel.

A red banner runs across the top of the photograph. At its left is a small crest-like emblem with a white dragon and the letters “WRU”; beside it, compact white capital lettering reads “THE OFFICIAL WRU/NSPCC FULL STOP CAMPAIGN CD”. A second line reads “CD SWYDDOGOL YMGYRCH WRU/NSPCC DIM MWY”. At the right end of the banner is a white rectangle with green “NSPCC” lettering and smaller, less legible text below. The banner and the singers’ red scarves and ties stand out against the mostly dark clothing, white rugby kit and muted crowd.

The lower white panel occupies roughly the bottom third of the cover. Its centred text is arranged in several tiers: “THE NATIONAL ANTHEM” appears in large, heavy black capitals; beneath it, “& CWM RHONDDA INSPIRED BY QUEEN” is set in smaller black capitals. A larger red line reads “HEN WLAD FY NHADAU”, followed by “& CWM RHONDDA” in red and “YSBRYDOLWYD GAN QUEEN” in smaller grey lettering. Near the bottom, a line of green capitals lists “BRYN TERFEL • KATHERINE JENKINS”, with “ALED JONES • RHYS MEIRION” underneath. The lettering is closely spaced and mostly centred, with changes in size and colour distinguishing the title and other lines. The cover is photographic rather than illustrated; its typography, banner and portrait sit over or alongside the photograph in a layered printed layout.
