The inspiration for this cover traces back to the 1789 edition of 'Missale Sacri Ordinis Praedicatorum,' a hallmark of Octavio Puccinelli's publishing during the Settecento period. This era saw bookbinding artistry balance complexity with simplicity. The stitching technique employed recessed cords for a smoother spine, simplifying the book's structure. However, this simplicity was countered by an elaboration in embellishment, creating a unique harmony of complexity and ease in design. The Paperblanks cover captures this nuanced craft, effortlessly encapsulating an important moment in history.
