This image depicts the book cover of Cabal! The Plot Against General Washington by Mark Edward Lender. The cover shows trees and a sunset. On the left, there is a circle image of Cabal. And on the right, there is a circled image of Washington. Both portraits are turned toward each other, so it looks like the men are staring at each other. The portraits are in black and white.
