The cover is adorned with a golden title and author name, adding an elegant touch to the overall design. The background of the cover features a series of interconnected windows, providing a glimpse into the stories and literature that lie within the pages of the book. The windows are framed with intricate, Art Nouveau-inspired patterns, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. This design is a testament to the artistic talent and creativity of the late 1890s, a time when the publishing industry was at the forefront of visual innovation. The use of gouache on heavy paper adds a tactile quality to the design, making it a true work of art that is as beautiful to touch as it is to look at. Overall, "New Light Through Old Windows" is a stunning example of the artistic vision and craftsmanship that defined the publishing industry during the late Victorian era.
