I'm not sure why the cover image is so blurry on the website (maybe it's just my computer?) but I really like how it came out.
Book cover of 'Selling Sexual Knowledge: Medical Publishing and Obscenity in Victorian Britain' by Sarah Bull. The cover features a version of the British College of Health's c. 1852 lithograph "The Obscene M.D.," which depicts two Victorian gentlemen seated at a table, appearing to be discussing some transaction. One man in a top hat has a diploma in his pocket and is sitting with his legs astride the back of a chair, William Riker style. In the background, other figures can be seen browsing books or carrying them to and fro. The floor is littered with papers or pamphlets with partially visible titles related to sexual knowledge and medicine. The title appears in burgundy text above the illustration, with the author's name at the top in black.
