First published in 1965, this is the revised edition of Frances S. Wing’s “classic guide to the art of decoupage” from 1970. The jacket design has an adequately restrained use of the opulent Davison Art Nouveau: just one word, set on a curve, with two protruding curls.

The rest of the title and the author name are set in Caslon No. 540, while the five lines at the bottom appear to be in Caslon 3 (a.k.a. New Caslon).
