We’re excited to join @loynosca and #IGLibraries for this month’s social media challenge: #BookBouquets! Watch for a floral book cover each Wednesday in April.
Our copy of The Bouquet (Boston, 1844) features a gorgeous gilt-stamped floral bouquet against a faded-purple cloth. We think this binding is stunning as is, and bet it was even more striking when the purple cloth was new.
