This week's #BindingAppreciationPost is brought to you by these floral printed paste papers.
Also, #36DaysuntilSpring!
Ein christlicher send-brief, an geistliche personen geschrieben. Allentown: Gedruckt fur die Verleger von A. und W. Blumer, 1835.
We've still got Shakespeare on the mind, so decided to highlight the Wayward Sisters again, this time #PublishersBindingThursday style.
This is volume 6 of a 15 volume set of the works of Shakespeare, each volume with a different gold-stamped decoration to match the contents. If you look very closely, you can see the name of the die-cutter, [John] Feely, engraved into this stamp, in the folds of fabric just under the Witches' fingers.
The plays and poems of Shakespeare. Edited by A.J. Valpy. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1842.
These shell marbled endpapers and matching fore edge are helping us celebrate #EndoftheWeekEndpapers *and* #ForeEdgeFriday! TGIF indeed!
James Thompson. The seasons; with the Castle of indolence. New York: W.B. Gilley, 1812.
To add that little something extra, the binder of this pocket-sized gift book attached colored paper onlays to the upper cover, placed just right so as to make the flowers pop. If you look closely, you can see the outlines of the cut paper pieces underneath the gilt decoration.
Emma C. Embury. Love’s token flowers. New York: J.C. Riker, 1848.
We have a #BindingAppreciationPost to share this Thursday because it's grey and rainy here in Philadelphia and this stained leather beauty is making us think of blue skies, blue oceans, and sandy beaches. #135daysuntilSummer
The Works of Cornelius Tacitus. In Six Volumes. Philadelphia: Printed for H.C. Carey & I. Lea, et al., 1822.
Happy #ForeedgeFriday from these #chonkybois and their fore-edge clasps.
These two were just begging to be featured for #PublishersBindingThursday and really, who can say no to that face! Either of those faces!
It’s #PublishersBindingThursday, which means it’s almost Friday! If you’re still making plans for the long weekend, we have just the book for you. Impromptu charades, anyone? William B. Dick. What shall we do to-night? or, Social amusements for evening parties. New York: Dick & Fitzgerald, 1873.
