In a (Binding) Pattern

Binding from Affection’s Gift:  A Christmas, New Year, and Birthday Present, for MDCCCLIV.  Philadelphia:  Published by E. H. Butler & Co., 1854.

Catalog Record | Enlarged Images | Adopt a Gift Book Home

This exquisite binding design is an imitation of a style found in the sixteenth century, but made with the precision of the nineteenth century.  It is stamped in gold on both the covers.  The spine has a similar design but with features not normally found from that period including the title and year and certain ornaments.

Adopted by Alison & Bob Petrilla in 2012
