Thank you @akglondon. You’re right, @benpriordesign did a fantastic job. I was bowled over when I first got my hands on a copy. I’m sure it’s success is largely down to the cover’s beauty!
This 15th century book illumination was used by Ben Prior, cover designer at Head of Zeus, to make one of the most beautiful covers of 2022. The intricate gold foil detail, by Ben's own account, took hours of work to redraw. @benpriordesign @Emma_J_Wells @HoZ_Books
