Summary
Full description
Orientation: Vertical Text Substrate: thin machine-made white wove paper with many insertions and guards Ink/Pigment: miscellany of printed material and with some manuscript notes Type: BOUND BOOK Binding Type: Inboard binding, raised supports & hollow Date of Binding: 19.4 Binder's Name: British - Browne family End Leaves: sewn double-fold of thin white machine-made wove paper, the outermost leaf pasted to recycled boards over their turn-ins but under the new turn-ins, second leaf pasted over the new turn-ins Structure: British Edges: plain cut? Spine Lining: moderate round, no joints, linings disturbed. There is a thick grey-brown card adhered to the inside of the spine covering over the turn-ins. End Bands: None Bookmark: None Boards: 3mm strawboards salvaged from an earlier half leather binding covered in purple diamond-grain bookcloth Covering: half blue tanned goat with blue moiré cloth on the sides. The cloth lies over the corners, but under the quarter leather spine Tooling Spine: divided into 5 panels by gold-tooled roll pallet between single gold lines, with doubled single lines at head and tail. Tooling Sides: Furniture: No Enclosure: No Binding Notes: The binding has a complicated history, with two more layers of paper under the outermost endleave and a purple diamond-grain bookcloth on the fore-edges under the moiré bookcloth but over the leather corners. The fact that the outer layer of paper on the boards is under the earlier turn-ins suggests that these boards were salvaged from another Browne binding.
