Victorian floral border with central panel, coloured more

A full-page border around a small central frame that was originally used for the title on the front of a book. There is an outer rectangle of white flowers, on a black background with white dots (criblé). The central white rectangle sits over a horizontal band with a geometric pattern. There are flowers (with leaves and stems) in both the top and bottom gaps between the outer criblé border and the inner rectangle, and these are coloured green. There is also a dark red butterfly in the upper area, near the flowers.
This border is a coloured version of the black and gold border from the front cover of this 1882 edition. The colours are muted but different enough to make for easy image editing.
There is also a black and white version of this border, which is closer to the original, in which the title rectangle was filled with gold but the rest was in black.
