Hi, welcome to SF&F. This is really thin on details; can you recall anything about even 1 of the stories in the anthology? Every bit of extra information helps.

@GC_ : Probably by having read "The Man Who Came Early" and then looking for anthologies with it and a cover that matches the description. My first thought on reading the description of the cover was "Oh, bet I know that story. Don't know the anthology, but the picture sure sounds like 'The Man Who Came Early.'"
