A navy blue cloth hardcover copy of "The Touchstone of Fortune" by Charles Major. The book's title and author appear stamped in lime green type at the top center of the hardcover. Beneath the author's name is an illustration, outlined by a lime green stamped decorative border. The illustration appears to have been adhered to the book by hand. It depicts three women and one man, all dressed in 17th century, Elizabethan garb. They are gathered around a wooden table draped in white cloth, on which blue-and-white china, a knife with a wooden handle, and several food items are visible. In the fore and middle grounds, a stone floor is visible. In the background, a stone wall with a lattice window with brown trim is present.Category
