The studio: internat. journal of modern art. Special number: Modern bookbindings and their designers
The Studio, an international journal of modern art, produced this 1899 special number on contemporary bookbinding, edited by Esther Wood for an art-trade and design readership in England. Its plates show leather and cloth bindings with tooled and blind-stamped patterns: stylised flower stems, a lyre and foliage scroll, and a stamped central panel, offering a designer period examples of pattern repeat, border framing and Art Nouveau linear ornament.
