The illustration features silhouettes of a man and two women grouped under a single overhead light, and framed by graphic representations of jazz-age vices such as a dollar bill, playing cards, dice, and a gin bottle, as well as jazz trombones, jutting in from the outside edges. It is one of eight illustrations by Douglas for the volume.
