Rose, ou l'Ascendant de la vertu / par F. Villars
A French children's moral tale, Rose, ou l'Ascendant de la vertu, written by F. Villars and published in Rouen by Mégard et cie in 1854 for young readers. The covers use an embossed pink and gold floral vine border around a small coloured vignette of three figures walking down a city street past a building with a red and white flag, with the spine lettering in gold; a designer might take the dense gilt botanical pattern and the framed scene for period decorative binding.
