"An antique, leather-bound volume, possibly a Sikh scripture, is open on a patterned royal blue cloth. The left page is densely filled with dark, handwritten text in an intricate script, while the right page is mostly blank with faint, thin red ruled lines. The edges of the paper are uneven and aged, indicating a centuries-old document. A person's chest and beard are visible in the background.

Imagine a handwritten 300-year-old holy scripture with ink containing gold is rediscovered by Edinburgh University. Who did awesome work on its preservation. Edinburgh Gurdwara and once in a lifetime opportunity 🙂 #edinburgh #Scotland #oldbook #history

A old copy of Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. It is a faded white hardcover with gold embossed details
A screenshot of an eBay listing for Prison Journal During the French Revolution. It is a faded white hardcover with gold embossed details
I'm trying to put a date to this copy of Aurora Leigh I picked up at a library sale years ago and I'm lost. Google lens only pulls up this other book with identical cover, apart from title? There's no year for copyright, just DODD, MEAD, AND COMPANY
