oldbookillustrations: Paul Avril, (probable original) front cover from Le miroir du monde (Reflection of the world), by Octave Uzanne, Paris, 1888. (It’s difficult to tell for sure without holding the book in one’s hands, but this looks like the original cover, and the current brown binding like a later addition. This could also be a title page, but it’s not quite as likely) (Source: archive.org)

incipient: So my lovely, lovely gold and leather books arrived today and they are officially the most beautiful items in my possession. I love them more than anything! I’ve spent all afternoon staring and photographing them. Such a worthy purchase. Happy birthday to me, from me :3
