In terms of provenance, personal details indicate a custom binding. The metal clasp closure is engraved with the name 'Rosa Mayo' in swirling cursive script, and the interior endpaper features a custom-printed presentation label in a stylized Gothic/Old English calligraphic typeface that reads: "Miss R.
