This book from 1850 has an interestingly decorative inscription by a Hannah Taylor. She must have really loved this book.

After a week learning about 19th Century Publishers bindings with @pattisonpaperworks I was happy to see one conserved by Corinne in the shop. This 1880s book has two color stamping in the front and spine, typical for this time period. #publishersbinding #finishedwork #historicbinding #bookbinding (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCMBu2LGT_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you're looking for things to do over the holiday break, this little volume might have some ideas!

//repost to clean up image quality//🌿🌱🌿 Solitude is the thing the lonely children know, at first as an unwelcome companion, but later as a benevolent strength. Solitude takes us by the hand, shows us secret places, brings us to a broad space wherein we can breathe and create. New worlds form as we begin to better understand our own by being at last truly part of it. From long hours resting in the arms of nature, owing nothing to anyone, and being given endless inspiration and joy with nothing asked in return besides our enjoyment: we begin to understand the essence of true, unconditional love. 🌱 Through solitude we discover that we are never truly alone, if we are looking closely! 🌿 Today is international #selfportraitday ! I don’t have any actual self portrait to post, but today’s painting is loosely based on me. We’re our own cheapest and best models!

Day 4 of #libraryloveisloveislove is lookin’ a little green...we’re particularly fond of this shade, as seen on our copy of Hawthorn and Lavender, with Other Verses. Written by William Ernest Henley and published by Harper & Brothers in 1901, we’re quite mesmerized by the symmetry on this cover! Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re running out of time to figure the answer to out that age-old question - what is the difference between indigo and violet?!

I love that this publishers binding included labels for the earlier volumes so they can all match on the shelf. Nothing like updating your library at home. #publishersbinding #bookbinding #paperlabels #bookbindinghistory (at Rare Book School) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceys2iEO4S6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What a stunner! Absolutely loving this gilt cover decoration.
The design is signed "S. C." in the lower curves - any ideas on who this is?
