Book jacket for a German-language edition of Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero, a historical novel written by Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846–1916) and originally published in Polish in 1895/1896. Translated by Hertha Lorenz (1916–1989), it was published by Neuer Kaiser Verlag in Vienna in 1978.

Jacket designer Volkmar Reiter chose a photo of a Roman stone relief found on the outer wall of the Church of Our Lady in Maria Saal in Carinthia, Austria. He used Stack and Futura for the typography.
