Ever seen a book with an embroidered binding? ✨ This 1829 copy of a Catholic prayer book printed in Prague features hand-embroidered images to the front and back 😍 These would have been added by a talented owner. I can’t believe how bright the colors still are! It also has some nice plates, but who am I kidding, I bought this for the binding 😂 Part of my personal collection 📚

Wood Engraving Wednesday

Here are a few delightful wood engravings from a recent gift showing the various processes that go into binding a book. This little pamphlet is entitled A Short History of Bookbinding and a Glossary of Styles and Terms Used in Binding … .printed in London at the Chiswick Press for the bookbinder Joseph William Zaehnsdorf in 1895.These images were probably printed from metal plates that were made from the original wood engravings. The engravings are not attributed, as was the case for most commercial engravings.

Click or tap on the images to see the definitions for these activities as provided in the booklet’s glossary.

Custom Book Boxes

Over the past three years, we have been sending out some of our heavily used and most precious rare books to a company called Octávaye owned by Wendy Ossoinig.

Ossoinig takes our book and creates custom made boxes for them. When a class comes to see Diderot‘s Encyclopedie book plates, we no longer haul out the rapidly deteriorating volumes hoping that the binding won’t split, the cover won’t detach, and that our foam wedges will provide enough support. We bring out this.

Here’s a more detailed example for our Copernicus’ De revolutionibus orbium coelestium.

Not only are the boxes lovely to look at, but they also protect the books. The boxes ensure that we can continue to show off our rare books to people of all ages.

Conclusion: quantum physics causes damage to the hair and consequently to the individual.
