Spring flowers get all the press, but the purple coneflower, false foxglove, and common chicory are all still here for us when the days get shorter and colder. Jennifer Farrell of Starshaped Press draws the trio in the decorative style of early-20th-century “publishers’ bindings” and her charming illustrations couldn’t have pleased us more.
To emulate the texture and finish of dusty, well-worn cloth books from more than a hundred years ago, the covers are printed with three subtle metallic inks on Mohawk’s new “Midnight Blue” 100#C Mosaic stock with a “burlap” finish. The inside back covers features a bit of data about each flower, plus a scaled-down list of Practical Applications. The bodies are ruled in light blue-gray, on our ever-popular 60#T Domtar Lynx stock.
