The cover uses a 19th century drawing by the French painter Louis Charles Bombled (from a book on the history of France, oddly enough). NYRB's cover designer, Katy Homans, is usually good, so I'm not sure why this was chosen. I'm sure their design budget is somewhere near zero, so being public domain may have been a factor.
