The second image is a close-up illustration of a man's face and upper body, with a focus on his beard and hat. He is holding a plate with gold coins in his hands, and the background features a blurred landscape with a river and mountains. The image is part of a book cover, with the title 'What Was the Gold Rush?' and the author's name 'Joan Holub' visible at the top. The cover also includes a '16 pages of photos inside!' tag and a 'The New York Times Best-Selling Series' logo.
