Canu Yn Y Gwaed

Inside the image.

A square photographic cover shows three men in suits seated at different heights on a broad, pale rocky outcrop. The rock fills most of the lower half and rises into a jagged ledge on the right. The men form a loose diagonal across it: one sits low at the left, another occupies the centre and appears largest, and the third sits higher at the right. All are turned generally towards the camera, though their gazes and postures differ. The central man rests his hands on his knees; the left man sits with his legs apart and hands together near his lap; the right man sits behind him on the higher rock. Their dark jackets and pale shirts stand out against the bright stone and sky.

The rock is irregular and heavily fractured, with angular slabs, crevices and mottled patches of grey, beige and muted green. Its sunlit upper faces are pale, while recesses and overhangs are darker. Beyond it, a clear blue sky occupies almost all the background, grading from a deeper, slightly purplish blue at the top to a brighter blue near the horizon. A thin strip of distant, hazy landscape is visible at the far left behind the seated figure. The low viewpoint makes the rocky perch and the seated men appear elevated against the open sky. The photograph runs to the image edges without a visible border.

At the upper left, a compact group of lettering sits against the sky. The word “hogia” appears in white italic script, with short horizontal rules extending to either side. Beneath it, “LLANDEGAI” is set in large, tall outlined capitals, coloured pale grey or white with a darker interior or shadow. A narrow purple rectangular panel below contains “CANU YN Y GWAED” in white capitals. The lettering is left-aligned and occupies a clear patch of sky, separate from the figures. The image has the natural variation and detail of a colour photograph, with strong daylight, distinct shadows on the rocks and clothing, and no visible illustration or collage effects.
