Bucheinbände: Auswahl von technisch und geschichtlich bemerkenswerten Stücken
This 1910 German portfolio of bookbindings, edited by the Imperial-Royal Court Library in Vienna with a foreword by Theodor Gottlieb and held by Heidelberg University Library, was compiled as a survey of technically and historically notable binding examples for bibliophiles and scholars. Its plates show tooled leather covers in gilt and blind-stamped patterns, including Gothic panels, Renaissance arabesques, and a French binding from Lyon dated 1555, offering designers a range of historical ornament built from interlace, medallions, and framed central fields.
