Masterpieces of the World's Best Literature Frontispiece

55

Hidden beneath a plain, unlabeled cover is the elaborate frontispiece for 1905's Masterpieces of the World's Best Literature.

The Masterpieces of the World's Best Literature is a series of 8 small, handheld books, each of which has an identical frontispiece. This page underwent two printing passes, one with black ink, and another in red. Great care would have been required to align the red and black text properly.
