The book has red goatskin doublures gold-tooled with three sets of double fillets forming a border and frames with dentelle ornamentation and a central panel of thirteen blind-tooled diagonal double fillets with a circle at each intersection. The front and back free endpapers opposite the doublures are coloured red. The board edges are gold-tooled with a single fillet and fleurons, with rows of
