Hi, can anyone ID this typeface for me? I’ve got to recreate this book jacket for an 8 foot high prop!

I’m sure I know what it is, but I just can’t find it.

Thanks

That’s what I thought, but the a and r are different I’m sure.

I think it seems pretty close to Monotype Bodoni, based on the k and the t, but if this is an original edition this was probably done with metal or film type.
