Alfred de Sauty (1870-1949) produced tooled bindings of exceptional quality and workmanship in London from approximately 1898 to 1923, and in Chicago from 1923 to 1935. His finest work is thought to be have been accomplished between 1905 and 1914, quite possibly when this binding was executed. A truly wonderful example of the skill of this wonderful bookbinder.
