Memoirs of the Court of Queen Elizabeth, 1819.

In the first volume, a very recognizable portrait of Henry VIII is paired with a view of Hampton Court Palace, a tiny red-coated guard standing watch in the background. As the reader moves through the history of Elizabeth’s life, Henry VIII disappears and Elizabeth I, paired with a view of London from Westminster Abbey, comes into view on the book’s other side.

The technique of painting the edges of books is known as fore-edge painting (the fore-edge being the edge opposite the spine), and was popular in England around the time that the book was published.
