This style of binding immerged in the English tradition in the 1830s. It was immensely popular for both ‘ordinary’ work (that is, inexpensive bindings which were simply decorated) and ‘extra work’ (fancier bindings with more gold tooling). It remains today the method for making fine leather bindings. |
