Hello Darius! Thanks, glad you’re enjoying this blog. It’s pretty eclectic, I’ll say that. The book cover seems to be from the first English edition of “The Arabian Nights”, Andrew Lang, 1800s. Hope that helps.
Hello Matthew, Wow! I’ve heard of that first English Edition from an old friend. He mentioned that it is much more illicit than later cleaned up editions for family use. I wonder if it’s the same on my old antique/junk collector/hoarder friend mentioned.
HI Matthew, I love your blog. Any idea what book this cover is from?

On a first try without entering “Andrew Lang,’ I found the following link :

Would you please, if its not too much trouble, provide me with a link to your source?
Thanks, ever so much for all your work.
Looking forward.
Sincerely,
Darius Finch
All I did was a google image search and it came up with a lot of links/sources. The original was from 1898.
