Plague Writing in Early Modern England [comps]

Ernest B. Gilman : University of Chicago Press

This project is still under review. I was asked to provide three different approaches. The first features a painting from inside the book that editorial felt was suitable for the project; the image had to be cropped to fit the trim of the book so I have the bottom showing a detail of the dead and the top showing the angels of salvation. The second cover features a detail from one of the historic flyers contained in the book which were all very graphic and interesting to use. And, the third cover is a stock image of Black Plague skulls -- I overlaid this bleak image with delicate red crosses.
