Double Frame Border

Vintage double frame border with room for letters, including a title and subtitle. This page space and chapter heading is one of the more versatile ones I’ve seen. You could use it as it appears now, with just the inner frame, just the outer frame or some variation in between. The inner frame features a flower on either side with stamens. The outer border includes palm-like finials.

Thomas E. Hill made quite an ambitious work when he wrote Hill’s Album of Biography and Art in 1882. He did not indicate whether the artwork is from his own hand, another artist or primarily from print foundries.
