Souvenirs de douleur et pieux souvenirs / par Mme. Ve. Lebrocquy, née D'Haeyere 1863

This 1863 book cover, titled "Souvenirs de douleur et pieux souvenirs," was designed by Mimi Lebrocquy-d'Haeyere. It features a simple yet elegant design with a central cross within a wreath of flowers, signifying the themes of remembrance and loss. The cover, with its intricate typography, is a fine example of book design in the mid-19th century. The artwork evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and perhaps serves as a dedication to family. The use of typography and imagery contribute to this emotional tone.
