Goreuon Dafydd Edwards / Best Of Dafydd Edwards

Inside the image.

A square photographic cover shows a smiling man seated outdoors, framed from about the waist upwards. He fills most of the left and centre of the image, with his head near the upper edge and his hands resting over the curved handle of a walking stick near the bottom. He looks towards the viewer. His brown hair is brushed back; he wears a brown checked jacket with broad lapels, a pale cream V-neck jumper and a dark spotted scarf or necktie. A dark folded pocket square sits in the breast pocket on the viewer’s right. The walking stick descends out of frame.

The background is softly divided into broad areas of colour: warm ochre and muted yellow behind the man on the left, and deep green on the right. A horizontal darker band crosses the upper-left background, while a narrow, darker green strip appears close to the right edge. The man’s sunlit face and hands stand out against these subdued colours. The photograph has a slightly softened, aged appearance, with no visible border.

Large white serif lettering reading “Dafydd Edwards” occupies the upper-right quadrant, arranged on two lines over the green and ochre areas. Above it, the small lowercase word “goreuon” appears in widely spaced yellow-green letters. In the lower-right area, several lines of small white Welsh text are followed by a smaller, yellow italic English translation. This text sits over the darkened background beside the man’s jacket, leaving his face and hands unobscured.
