ENIGMA ULTRA
Our Enigma design is inspired by a cover said to have been designed by Le Gascon, a legendary but unidentified 17th-century bookbinder. The original was made of red morocco leather embossed and gilded with rosettes, spirals and dotted lines, but here we have used a beguiling black background to play up its mysterious origins. Original Art: Red Moroccan leather book binding.
