At the top of this faded 1915 cover of the novella Se deshojó la flor (The Flower Has Withered) is the novel's title and author, Jesús Balmori, printed at the top. On the bottom of the cover, in smaller print is the phrase “Novela Filipina” (Filipino Novel). The illustration on the cover is a woman in front of a body of water, small trees to her right, and flowers in front of her, covering her lower half. The woman is nude, but her right hand holds a cloth in front of her stomach, and with her left hand, she pushes her long dark hair out of her face.
