hi,
A Casket of Cameos is part 3 (not grouped) of a 5 volume series "texts that made history" by boreham
part 1 and 2 should be:
https://librivox.org/a-bunch-of-everlastings-or-texts-that-made-history-by-frank-w-boreham/
https://librivox.org/a-handful-of-stars-by-frank-w-boreham/
the cover pics are similar enough to make the series, credentials: Esther ben Simonides and Annise
..wanted to suggest to follow the series, whoever finds a pic that fits
cheers,
wolfi

I've claimed the Chesterton but the other is a cover from 2014 - I don't have the layers anymore and I think I was still using photoshop then and I would have to start from scratch so I think I'll leave it for someone else at the moment

I did my best. I can't match the fonts, but I did match the background picture of one of them and the general style. Thanks for the hint about it being a series - that helps with cover ideas.schrm wrote: ↑November 5th, 2020, 2:58 am hi,

Not sure I understand what "other" you mean, but if you are looking for the source for this cover photo, here it is
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/58032/58032-h/58032-h.htm
It would be no problem to create a series cover from this. Alas, I already have claimed 2.

I just had a slap-the-forehead moment.
Somewhere to look for PD images? Archive! I went to archive.org, clicked the images icon (that row of icons right above the search box), then put in the keyword I was looking for in the box on the left, under "search this collection." I found a great Saturday Evening Post cover for the immigration project!
Granted, one still has to determine if the image is PD, but it's one more possible source.

I never thought of doing that I suppose we would still need to check they wer public domain. I tried it out with purgatory and there were many - I was fascinated and tempted by this one
https://archive.org/details/12.ClaudiaRoggePurgatoryII2011Diasec168X215Cm.OperaNonEsposta but I'd already almost finished with another; 15C image
Anne
added- clicking on the arrows gave me a heap of other of her images - fascinating but surely she has not given up any rights ??

Wow! Another superb cover from that CD case artist, msFry!
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqmYAdtBQdx8gdQ38eTXk6NmbL6aNw
Nice job, Michele. It fits the mood of The Cruise of the Falcon perfectly.

...and then I thought: "Oh, what the Heck? Why not?..." —W.O.B.
Glad you liked it, Steven. The book was a wonderful travelogue to listen to. Alas, this link is to the cover I didn't get to use, featuring my own watercolor painting of my Dad's sailboat. Turns out the tropical artwork I framed it with, which I thought was PD on Pixabay when I found it, had been converted to restricted use by publication time. I was so disappointed.Steven Seitel wrote: ↑November 12th, 2020, 12:55 pm Wow! Another superb cover from that CD case artist, msFry!

Hey, I didn't reject it, Michele noticed. Just fyi , if we use a non PD image and anyone complains, your whole project is likely to be taken down by Archive. Do you think that the risk is worth taking?
