Description: 
Lower cover binding: contemporary binding in brown leather. The book is finished with a gold-tooled motif and the initials 'F' and 'D' in the centre of the board. There is a border composing of two blind-tooled lines and one gold-tooled line: a gold-tooled motif has been placed at the corners where these lines intersect. The cords that attach the board have failed; only the covering leather is attaching the board to the paper book block.
