Potential covers for Standard Ebooks
Young woman of demure appearance. Early 19th Century dress.
Source File: Here : 2541 x 3142 pixels. Note this was taken at a skew angle and needs adjustment to be rectangular. But it’s much better resolution than the Louvre offers.
PD Proof : In Catalogue officiel illustré de l’Exposition centennale de l’art français de 1800 à 1889 (p. 58)
Comment: Very Jane Austen-ish!

PD Proof : In Paris Salon 1892 – Part 1, facing p.76
Comment: might be suitable for some novel involving shipwreck and the death of a child.
A man and woman in 18th Century clothes are in a garden. The woman is seated on a garden bench, staring towards us. The man leans, disconsolate, head on hand.

PD Proof : In The Life and Art of Marcus Stone (frontispiece)
Comment: the original is very heavily saturated in colour. In my opinion it needs to be toned down quite a lot.
This site is intended as a resource for Standard Ebooks producers to help find potential covers for ebook productions. It lists images which I believe to be in the public domain in the United States and elsewhere. No guarantee of this is made or to be implied.
Links are given to the source of digital images, with the resolution shown, and to publications now in the US public domain in which the artwork appears.
Visit Standard Ebooks to view a catalogue of standardised, free, open-source ebooks, beautifully formatted and carefully proof-read. You can join us in helping produce such works.
