A short history of bookbinding and a glossary of styles and terms used in binding, with a brief account of the celebrated binders and patrons of bookbinding from whom the various styles are named, description of leathers, etc
A trade history and glossary of bookbinding issued in 1895 by the London firm Zaehnsdorf, printed at the Chiswick Press for collectors, librarians and binders. Wood-engraved vignettes show aproned workers folding, sewing, paring leather, and finishing at the bench, drawn in fine cross-hatched line on plain grounds; useful for workshop figures, hand-tool details and small cut-out spot illustrations.
