Thomas Fazakerley and his son John, bookbinders in Liverpool were well known for their 'reliure de luxe' bindings. Weber notes that "a lot of fore-edge paintings came out of Fazakerley's bindery . Many of the Fazakerley bindings with fore-edge paintings are done on the flat or closed surface [as here], especially those bindings that feature a triptych . It might be added that the style of paintings does not clearly appear to differ. Carl J. Weber surmised there may have been several artists working for Fazakerley and this may be true, though unproven" (Weber, 'Annotated Dictionary of Fore-Edge Painting Artists and Binders', page 141) Size: 8vo.
