A colorful scene is depicted, showing the character Lester Cockney on horseback, surrounded by dark silhouettes in the background and other characters also on horseback.

In the upper right corner, the number 47 and the date November 25, 1986, confirm the year of publication.

The visible side shows excellent color readability, with a bright blue background and black, yellow, green, and brown details for the characters and the rural setting.
