The reason this is my book cover is due to the fact that the mockingbird symbolizes purity and innocence. As the picture of the mockingbird is somewhat transparent, it gives in to the idea that purity and innocence fades away over time. As for the house, that's what I imagine the Finch's residence looking like. The reason for the mockingbird standing on a stone in front of the house making it seem like the bigger picture. As this is how a ruler is portrayed to a kingdom, as being the bigger picture. It symbolizes innocence being the ruler and controller of the house as most of the people in it; Atticus, Jem, Scout, Calpurnia, are mockingbirds.
As for the sepia, it was widely used during this time period as the book takes place around the late 1930's to early 1940's.
