Franklin Mowery, a well-known Design Bookbinder and Paper Conservator, associated with the Folger Shakespeare Library. The book is bound in natural oasis goatskin with black, blue and red inlaid leather borders. The centers of the covers are gray velvet, the front cover having the title stamped in blind. The title on the spine is gilt on a red leather title label; the cover edges and turn-ins are tan and black leather; top-edge gilt. Each group of plates is laid into two separate, gray velvet-covered portfolios, and the copper plate is mounted in a card frame and is in a matching portfolio. The book and portfolios are housed in specially crafted drop-back box, with black cloth spine and gilt red leather title label, with the sides and edges repeating the gray velvet with red leather borders; the interior is lined with gray velvet. This binding was exhibited at the Watson Library of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York in 1982 and is pictured in the publication: John Franklin Mowery Bookbindings. All are in very fine condition. The design and choice of colors and velvet suggest the theatrical nature of the contents of the book, a comedy featuring King Louis XV, Queen Marie Leczinska, Madame De Pompadour, Voltaire, Fragonard and others. The play premiered in October 1940. Weight: 8 lbs. Postage may be extra on this item.
