The back cover presents a plate from the Gottorfer Codex, Volume 2, painted in gouache on vellum between 1649 and 1659 by Hans-Simon Holtzbecker — the Hamburg flower painter commissioned by Duke Frederick III of Holstein-Gottorp to document the extraordinary gardens of Gottorf Castle — showing eight varieties of Primula × pubescens arranged in the symmetrical, catalogue-like disposition of a royal garden inventory, the opaque pigments lending each flower a velvety density that translates with exceptional fidelity to the matte laminated cover.

Each spread presents a coloured reference illustration on the left page alongside the same image in outline on the right — a letter paired with a charming object from the everyday world of a French child of the early twentieth century, rendered in Maréchaux’s precise and affectionate style.

In the chromolithographic plates of Dr. A.
