Summary/Abstract: For the twenty-fourth volume in the series Tartu Semiotics Library, a final editorial step was choosing the cover photograph. Between the editorial team, it was decided that undertaking an ad hoc semiotic analysis – that is, an analysis involving semiotic concepts – of the photographic materials in question would help in finding the photograph that best represents the purpose of the collection.
