After a week learning about 19th Century Publishers bindings with @pattisonpaperworks I was happy to see one conserved by Corinne in the shop. This 1880s book has two color stamping in the front and spine, typical for this time period. #publishersbinding #finishedwork #historicbinding #bookbinding (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCMBu2LGT_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
An early ghost story by John Oxenham (pseudonym of William Arthur Dunkerley), The Cedar Box [Y91 O98ce 1927] is also a beautiful example of a #publishersbinding. #publishersbindingthursday #thecedarbox #johnoxenham #shortstory #ahtl https://www.instagram.com/p/CMj-cxtJ8lF/?igshid=qs8oeekh3xzj

Enjoying the stunning cover design for the 1899 edition of “The Grandissimes” by George Washington Cable. 😍(Scribner, New York)
//repost to clean up image quality//🌿🌱🌿 Solitude is the thing the lonely children know, at first as an unwelcome companion, but later as a benevolent strength. Solitude takes us by the hand, shows us secret places, brings us to a broad space wherein we can breathe and create. New worlds form as we begin to better understand our own by being at last truly part of it. From long hours resting in the arms of nature, owing nothing to anyone, and being given endless inspiration and joy with nothing asked in return besides our enjoyment: we begin to understand the essence of true, unconditional love. 🌱 Through solitude we discover that we are never truly alone, if we are looking closely! 🌿 Today is international #selfportraitday ! I don’t have any actual self portrait to post, but today’s painting is loosely based on me. We’re our own cheapest and best models!
