10, Book cover you like.

I'm absolutely smitten with Andrew Lang's original 1900s fairy book covers, charmingly illustrated by Henry Justice Ford. So much so, that I've taken to recreating and restoring the covers in detail so I can make them into notebooks and preserve them.

Currently, I have three restoration designs, and I am working on the lilac one. For which I really could use some more detailed images, so if anyone has one.🙏

@HeliaXyana The amount of craftsmanship poured into older books has always impressed me. Just beautiful.
