To celebrate Publisher’s Binding Thursday, we present this rare and beautiful example of early printed bookcloth. Aside from the extraordinary cloth, this book has a printed paper spine label, a common feature on books published in the mid to late 1830s. We love the abstract pattern and color of this cloth. Notice how the pattern is still visible even on the heavily-faded spine.
