| A Bookbinding Anamoly: Linked-spine Bindings |
Presented by Providence Athenaeum at Providence Athenaeum
February 25, 2012
Sam Ellenport has been the proprietor of Harcourt Bindery in Boston for the past 40 years. It is the last large book bindery in America still working in a 19th century tradition, on a par with Bayntun’s in Bath, England. Through spectacular images, he will uncover a rare aspect in bookbinding: the use of the spines of books as a canvas on which binders create designs that span several volumes.
