This edition of Jane Eyre was published by Donohue and Henneberry in 1847.
The book cover is a dark maroon color with a floral motif printed in dark ink. Above the organic patterns is a series of vertical lines. A torch within a circle is near the center of the cover.
The spine of the book continues this motif with the addition of the publisher, book title, and author. The former two have additional printed color, being surrounded by a golden border.
Many books from this era had either no printing on the cover / spine or just a plain title. The intricate patterns, text, and multiple colors showcase the craftsmanship of the printers.
