About This Item
Bibliographical Society of America, New York, first edition, 1990. Edition of 750 copies. Cloth, skiver spine-label, 4to, gilt cover device, 29 cm,. xviii, 252 pp, [42] pp of plates. Fom the blurb: "Ever since W. H. James Weale laid the foundations for the scholarly study of panel-stamped bindings in 1894, it has been universally assumed that the stamps were hand-engraved, and thus that each panel was a unique artifact. Fogelmark now presents a new and pathbreaking approach to the study of panel-stamped bindings. He presents decisive evidence, on the basis of many years' research in a large number of European libraries, that panel stamps were cast in metal, and were often produced and distributed in multiple copies for wide distribution...This is a distinguished and highly original contribution to bookbinding history, which greatly extends our knowledge of the late medieval booktrade, at the same time as it calls into question most of the established attributions of panels to individual shops and places. Tiny scratch to front board, otherwise Near Fine.
