Perception: an exhibition

The book 'The Doors of Perception' lying flat so the cover is face-up. The cover has a blue background, with three large abstract eye designs taking up most of the space. They have geometric designs within the pupils and have red, yellow, green, and orange details so each eye is different. The author and title are at the head and foot of the cover respectively, printed in white.

‘From the author’
Portrait of Sir Joseph Williamson made in oils, by Sir Peter Lely and his studio. It is a two-thirds portrait and shows Williamson in a three-quarter pose, one hand resting on his hip and the other resting on a table draped in red fabric. The hand on the table holds a sheaf of papers. The fabrics Williamson wears and the drapery wrapped around him indicate a taste for luxurious goods.
