Babel, Or the Necessity of Violence by R.F. Kuang 📚
Designed by Mary Townsend, the cover is heavily inspired by The Locked Library’s special edition of Babel. The image in the gothic window is part of a steel plate engraving. It depicts a 19th century view of the City of Oxford which was drawn and engraved by William Westall A.R.A. and Edward Finden, and was published in Great Britain Illustrated. All other design elements come from Canva. The typeface used is called Lovelace.
Design is printed directly onto white Wooqu bookcloth using an inkjet printer. The case was made using the three-piece bradel method. The end papers are green marbled paper from Two Hands Paperie.
