A rare example of papier mache binding and gauffered decoration. ** Victorian Gothic Revival "Papier Mâché Binding, Sunday October 4th, 2009, by Paul Watson: One of the fashions of the "Gothic Revival" during the mid-1840s to 1860s was for "monastic" style bindings that imitated the Medieval wooden book covers. Rather than reproducing these in wood, the Victorians (presumably for reasons of cost and mass production) recreated this style with Plaster of Paris and a filler (possibly papier-mâché and antimony?), which was then formed in a rigid frame usually made of metal. Another source suggests they were made from "fibrous plaster and paper pulp reinforced with metal". I suspect some more research is needed on my part! The technique was patented by the British firm J. Jackson & Son. Print runs of over 1000 were needed to offset the expense of producing the complex molds, according to bookbinding historian Bernard Middleton. From what I can find out, the technique seems to be especially associated with the British illustrator and illuminator Henry Noel Humphreys (18101879). Humphreys was influenced by his study of medieval manuscripts during a stay in Italy as a young man. The finished results have been described as resembling "nothing so much as cast iron" (Bookbinding in the British Isles: sixteenth to the twentieth century, Part 2. London: Maggs Bros. Ltd., 1996) . Transcript of letter available on request together with full provenance, showing the book was given as a gift to Bella Goalen (from her Godfather W. E. Gladstone) and then by descent to Brian Zehetmayr. ** See McLean - Victorian Publisher's Binding p.50 *** Not listed in Griffiths, D.N.
