Book cover with overal circle and dot pattern 1800 - 1900

This anonymous book cover from the 1800s, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a prime example of repetitive pattern design. The design features a simple, yet effective, grid of small gold circles arranged in a diagonal pattern against a pale brown backdrop. This book cover, likely intended for a personal or religious text, exemplifies a decorative trend popular during this period and showcases the use of traditional materials and craftsmanship.
