Book cover with overall pattern of three lines within circles 1800 - 1900

This anonymous book cover, likely from the late 18th or early 19th century, exhibits a repeating pattern of three lines within circles, creating a dense and decorative surface. The pattern, rendered in red on a blue and off-white background, speaks to the prevalence of geometric motifs in decorative arts during this era. It's likely this cover, now held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was part of a bound volume or manuscript, showcasing the aesthetic trends in bookbinding during the period.
