This is the cover of a book created between 1557 and 1559 by Joos Gietleughen. The cover is made of brown leather with a gold-colored border. It's likely that the book contained portraits of emperors. The dimensions of the book are 315 mm high, 250 mm wide, 45 mm thick, and 505 mm wide. While the exact contents of the book are unknown, it's a testament to Gietleughen's skills as a binder. The cover serves as a reminder of the artistry of bookmaking in the 16th century.
