Binding Note: | Binding: rebound by Bruce Plumley in green oasis, with a romantic design of flowing onlays shaded from lemon to white. A large red rose dominates the spine, suggesting that the cover be viewed as a single work. The design overflows onto the doublures. Lemon suede flyleaves. The edges untrimmed and hand-gilded. Silk headbands. Preserved in a black cloth box, red velvet lining. See archival envelope for a manuscript letter from the binder to Benjamin Guinness (undated), thanking him for the commission and describing the binding. |
