Creation of printed wraps

Singlely issued pamphlets, etc., lack a protective binding by definition. They were most often issued with a printed outer cover of paper or card - a.k.a. 'printed wraps". Note: these five restored pamphlets all have newly created printed wraps.
If still present, every effort is made to rehabilitate these covers along with the contents. However, as in this case, the cover is missing (or was never present). It is now possible to create a servicable facsimile from the titlepage.
This is an example of a pamphlet which, as part of a series, never had its own title-page.
Therefore elements were taken from amongst the text and used to create an ersatz title-page/wrap...
...and another similar example. Note: modern imprint statement on back cover denoting the cover as not original.
