Full description

End Bands: None Bookmark: None Boards: 2.5mm rope-fibre board boards Covering: full blue blockcloth embossed with a bead grain Tooling Spine: old blocked title and volume number within a floral design. Tooling Sides: blind-blocked centre piece with vine-scroll board frame Furniture: None Enclosure: None Binding Notes: The work on the binding does not conform to standard casing practice. The gold-blocking on the spine has been crushed flat, the linings, endleaves and cut and polished edges are a-typical. The endleaves in particular remind me of the work of the Brown family. It is likely that the Browne famly bought the journal in separate issues and then bought the cloth case from the publishers for each volume.
