Closures:
Two engraved full metal silver fore-edge clasps hinging from the front cover and catching on the back. The hinge plates and catch plates were riveted with iron nails that have corroded, damaging the paper inside and resulting in the loss of the front hinge plate and hasp and the back top catch plate. The engraved design is of a curled volute within a lined and double row of wavy pin-dots frame.
