Old Leather Book by enginemonkey

Lovely old stained leather book printed in 1640. Ovid's Metamorphosis. One of my favourite possessions! Wording on the front reads John Gunter, Domini 1600.

Sorry I couldn't get the edges to come out as crisp as the middle...darn scanner

If you make use of it please show me your work and give me a credit ta very much

Hi there.

Thank you so much for capturing such a lovely image.

I've used it twice in making a couple of front covers for my Dragon Age 2 fan fiction stories.

Older books textures are the best. Recently used it for a school project with a couple color and sizing modifications.

Looks really cool!

I'm using a modified version of this image as a background for an eBook cover design for a soon to be published book called ''Easterland'' by a chap called Patrick Henry Prentice. He's running a contest for a cover design at 99designs.co.u, so it's not a cert that my design will be chosen. Here's a link to the design I'm using this image for.

Thanks,

Thanks for showing me. Good luck!

RichardHolman Featured By Owner Apr 3, 2013

No problem. Thanks for allowing me to use your image. I didn't win the contest anyway

The author chose something that looked truly dreadful. Still, there's no accounting for taste.

Hello, I'd like to use one of this package in my fanbook!

Aside from uploading it to dA, I may also make some copies(maybe 10 or a little more) and sell it at a fan-event next month. It's not for commercial use but since I may get some cashes from it, I think I have to make sure: would it be OK?

I may also use other one's dA stocks, so I'm going to use one page to credit them altogether. I'll make descriptions which panel had used which one's stock.

Please let me know if you prefer me to credit them separately in the page stock be used.

Thanks!

enginemonkey Featured By Owner May 30, 2012

Hi amamik, use away, no problem. Show me the final results.

This is a lovely, lovely book cover. (And a good book regardless of the cover!)

I'd like to use this as a background for a design in my Zazzle shop. But I wasn't sure what the license is for it. I'd be happy to credit you in whatever way you prescribe.

In a second hand book shop here in Cardiff. It has some amazing pictures inside!

freakypencils Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2010 Student General Artist

I would ask you to scan every single page if it wasn't too much work, LOL. xDDD That's amazing. We have books from the 60's and they're breaking apart.
