The cover is illustrated in a vintage style, with a turquoise background and black and white line drawings. The illustration depicts two witches in black robes and pointed hats, stirring a large black cauldron over a fire. The text "WITCHES POTIONS and SPELLS" is prominently displayed at the top. The scene includes stylized trees and a red sun or moon with a bat flying in front of it. Other creatures, such as a crow, an owl, and a chameleon, are also part of the design.

Years later I found myself stood in front of it at the Tate Modern. 
My reaction: I started laughing.
No idea why.
Incredible Artist.
Bacon was born 116yrs ago today.
Painting of a woman in a room dressed in a long blue dress and head scarf pointing to a black cat on a green mat on the floor, on the wall is a picture in a frame of a black cat lying in exactly the same position on a green surface
In Western arts over time cats could be included in paintings as symbolic of ideas of mystery or female sensuality. Black cats particularly were associated with witches (aka wise women who had skills in healing).
