Name/Title
A Gentle Knight of Old BrandenburgDescription
A light blue cloth hardcover copy of "A Gentle Knight of Old Brandenburg" by Charles Major. The book's title and author are stamped in navy blue type at the top center of the front cover. Beneath the author's name is an oval illustration, outlined by a navy blue decorative border with roses and vines, three candles each on the left and right, and a lyre at the top center. The illustration appears to have been adhered to the book by hand. It depicts two men and one woman before a blank white background, all dressed in late Baroque / Rococo garb and wearing white powdered wigs. The woman wears a red and pink ruffled bodice, with a red collar. The man standing to her right wears a blue petticoat, brown or gold vest, and white cravat. The third man, holding the woman's hand and bent over as if preparing to kiss it, is dressed in a military coat with a red ribbon in his hair.Category
