Dal I Gredu

Inside the image.

A square cover combines a full-length photograph of a man with a wall crowded by torn posters, painted lettering and graffiti. The man stands in the left foreground, facing the camera with his hands in the pockets of a dark, bulky coat. He wears a dark blue top and loose brown-grey trousers; his dark hair and face are visible, though small. His figure reaches almost from the top to the bottom of the image, set against the wall and a strip of weeds at its base.

The wall fills the background. Its rough, mottled surface shifts from pale brick and grey-brown at the left to ochre, rust and dark greenish tones across the centre and right. Overlapping scraps of paper form a dense, irregular cluster across the upper half and centre. The pieces are mostly white or cream, with red, blue, black and green printing, and show fragments of faces, blocks of lettering and small graphic marks. Several black-and-white portrait images stand out around the centre-right. The torn edges, creases and overlaps make the wall appear layered, while some lower sections remain exposed, including large, faded orange-red painted marks across the middle and lower right. Grass and small plants run along the bottom edge.

Large white lowercase lettering, “dafydd iwan”, sits near the upper-left corner, above and to the left of the man's head. The letters are rounded and slightly irregular, with a soft, hand-rendered appearance. Smaller writing appears on the pasted notices, but much of it is too small, broken or obscured to read confidently. The image has no separate border or large unoccupied area: the man and poster-covered wall compete for attention, and the bright scraps punctuate the more subdued, weathered colours. The treatment is photographic, with a visibly rough wall and layered paper textures; the main title is cleanly superimposed over the scene.
