"The Whole Booke of Davids Psalmes" is a 17th century book cover with embroidered details. Created by the Company of Stationers, this cover features a grey fabric base with floral motifs embroidered in colored silk threads. The cover, measuring just 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 in., demonstrates the intricate detail and artistry of bookbinding in the 17th century. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this cover exemplifies the craftsmanship of its time, and the importance of sacred text in daily life.
