If you look carefully, you will see that the bottom half is an open book, with an illustration on the left and text on the right. The top half are two different pieces. Using various manipulations, I blended common elements, that give it a bit more unity.
The book is an interesting curiosity, that somehow ended up in my collection from previous generations. It is a Russian 1928 edition of Dominion by J F Rutherford ~ early Jehovah Witness proselytizing.
Beautifully bound with an #EmbossedCover, and colour #BookPlate#Illustrations. I’ve been tempted to use it for altered book art, but for now, just scans for collage work.

Finished reading one short novel from Stephan Zweig's book: "Buchmendel" (Mendel The Book Dealer).
I love the story and wish to be at that café and have a conversation with someone like Mendel. #StefanZweig#Mendel#ClassicLiterature#Books#1920s#BookLovers
