Antique Leather Books on Museum Plinth

by Svetlana Harris

Deep crimson and faded brown leather spines form a tight, uneven stack atop a smooth, pale stone plinth. The overhead fluorescent fixtures cast harsh, cool shadows that slice across the worn grain of the bindings, highlighting cracks and raised bands on the covers. Through a nearby window, a sliver of wet-season night darkness contrasts with the artificial glow, leaving a faint, cool reflection on the plinth's edge. The books rest in a precise, disciplined arrangement, their aged textures standing out against the sterile, flat surface. A small chip in the corner of the bottom volume reveals the rough, fibrous texture of the board beneath the leather. The wet glass of the window frames the dark exterior, showing the isolation of the objects within the room.
