Lucien Broca was a bookbinder of note, working in London for the final quarter of the 19th century. According to previous owner of this set, Broca may be best known as the ghost-binder for Sarah Prideaux, whose name seems to have appeared on many of his bindings. His name appears here and there in directories of London bookbinders until 1901. Please email with questions or to request photos.
