Just above the border on the bottom of the spines, and also in gilt, is "1803," the year this volume was published. The title, "Odes of Anacreon," also in gilt, appears between the first and second raised bands, and underneath each title, circled in gilt is the number 1 or 2, indicating which volume it is.
