The cover features an ink drawing of logging scenes in a hilly rural landscape. In the lower section, men float logs down a river. The upper part appears to be covered by a sheet of parchment and the key words in the title, Fir and Empire, are cut out of the parchment so that the scene beneath it shows through. The full text reads Fir and Empire, The Tranformation of Forests in Early Modern China, Ian M. Miller.
