[Cosway-Style] Oficio Divino. Paris: Belin-Leprieur & Morizot, 1850. Early oxford-blue velvet with ornate metal (possibly silver) panels and a central hand-painted portrait miniature of a woman playing the harp; inlaid under glass and framed in brass, spine with decorative metal ornaments, metal clasp and catch, silk moir? endpapers, a.e.g. 16mo. Tarnished with age as usual, interior hinges weak but sturdy, occasional offsetting or foxing to interior. A near fine example of a Cosway-style binding.
