See More... (Bookbinding) Davenport, Cyril. INTERNATIONAL BOOKBINDING EXHIBITION BY THE CHIEF CRAFTSMEN FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD, AT THE "CAXTON HEAD."...FROM WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27TH TO SATURDAY, JULY 7TH
London J. & M.L. Tregaskis, "Caxton Head" 1894 large 8vo. sewn, stiff paper wrappers, new spine covering. 25 pages, with 8 leaves of chromolithographic plates.
Catalogue of 75 bindings of a Kelmscott book ("King Florus and the Fair Jehane") from 29 different countries, exhibited at the London bookseller "Caxton Head" in 1894. A number of well-known London binders of the time are represented, but one also finds entries for bindings from Australia, China, Persia and other places. Each binding is described and eight are illustrated with chromolithographic plates. Judging from the descriptions and illustrations, these were bindings partly showing a retrospective, historical style, and partly showing a William Morris-Art Nouveau influence. The introduction by C. Davenport expresses a very conservative view of binding and discusses some of the items. Of interest as a record of non-English and even non-European fine binding at the end of the 19th century. Loosely inserted catalogue description of this item has the following pencil annotation written at the bottom "Leather cover removed, rebound in original wrappers, with grey Moriki spine by D. Evetts 7/21/95." Evetts is a noted binder and conservator.

Leicestershire The Plough Press 1978 square 8vo. half leather over marbled boards, top edge gilt. 26 pages and 10 plates.
First edition, one of the 25 special copies in leather of the total of 200 numbered copies. Relates the story of the murder of the binding tool producer, John Paas, by the bookbinder, James Cook. Because of the notoriety of the case, the newspaper and some pamphlets were given out showing plates of the binding premise, etc. Some of these illustrations are reproduced in this book thus giving us an excellent idea of what an English 19th century bindery looked like. Another nice effort by the Plough Press of Geoffrey Wakeman.
