Decorative Description:
The covers are gilt with a variable width triple line fillet border. Gold tooled around the border is a fleur-de-lis covered arc decorative roll and a oval flower and dot decorative roll. In the center of the covers is a small gilt crowned and gartered royal coat of arms supported by a rampant lion and unicorn standing on a ribbon with the text DIEU ET MON DROIT. Surrounding the coat of arms is a gilt wreath of tulips and trefoil floral spray stamp. Underneath the wreath is the text VIVANT REX ET REGINA, beneath that is the gilt text THEATRE ROYAL DRURY LANE 1808. The smooth spine is divided into six panels by gilt four line fillets with a thin rope line above and below. In the first and sixth panel is diced with a pin-dot roll. The other panels are gilt with a floral corner stamp and small quatrefoils. In the center of the panels is an ornamental stamp with a quatrefoil center and tulips and circles and leafy curls. The board edges are gilt with a single line fillet. The turn-ins are gilt with an oval flower and dot decorative roll.
