Description

The board (300 x 320 mm) features four examples of spines (230 x 45 mm), the whole backed with marbled paper to represent the endpapers (corners rubbed), at the head of the board is a large black morocco label with a gilt boarder entitled ìSpecimens of Bookbindingsî, plus three additional separate models of spines. This has the appearance of being dated to the 1890ís with the titles on the dummy samples being of Dickens novels and periodicals (i.e. Strand Magazine, Sunday at Home, etc.). However, the sample ìStand Magazineî is lettered Jan.-June 1921.
