2nd PRIZE, CASED BINDING
UNTITLED BINDING - intended to be used as a travel diary.
Bound by VICTORIA COSTELLOE
This is a blank book which is intended to be used as a travel diary with a pocket for souvenirs. It is a cased–style binding based on the design of a nineteenth century account book.
The book block is of Zerkall stationery paper made up into sections and sewn in the French style, without tapes. It is rounded only.
The Galleon patterned endpapers are from an unknown source. Full bound in fair calf and polished to resist handling marks.
HIGHLY COMMENDED, CASED BINDING
CIGAR AFICIONADO'S CIGARS - Running Press, Philadelphia.
Bound by DAVID JOHN LAWRENCE
These two copies of the same volume were designed as a pictorial pair, in Art Deco style. They are kept in a protective canister, which was adapted from a copper humidor, and are meant to be displayed with covers wide open, one above the other, in a cloth covered frame, to show the combined cover designs to full advantage.
These small volumes are bound as decorated cased bindings in black goatskin with inlays of red and pink with a thinly pared onlay of black and marbled vellum on the spine. They have gilt thread headbands and grey patterned endpapers.
