The Nabokov Collection
The stunning Nabokov Collection (art directed by John Gall), a series of 21 new book covers from prominent designers.
Nabokov was a passionate butterfly collector, a theme that has cropped up on some of his past covers. The idea was also a play on this concept. Each cover consists of a photograph of a specimen box, the kind used by collectors like Nabokov to display insects. Each box would be filled with paper, ephemera, and insect pins, selected to somehow evoke the book’s content.
