About this Item
Description:
2 volumes, 1825. Bound by Florence Paget(?) listed in Women Bookbinders, signed "F P 1906" on rear lower dentelle of Volume1. Small volumes with small print, approximately 120 x 65 mm, 5 x 2½ inches, engraved frontispiece and title page to each volume, coat of arms with motto "Honi soit qui mal y pense" to each title page, pages: 1-443; 1-430, bound in full plain morocco, gilt titles to spines, blind decoration to the end of each raised band, double rules to dentelles, gilt rule to edges of covers, edges stained red. Spine of Volume 2 slighty faded, a few light stains to covers, pale browning to frontispiece and title page of Volume 1, strip of brown offset from dentelles to all first and last free endpapers, occasional pale spot, otherwise a very good clean tight set. Paget was a pupil of Douglas Cockerell, and exhibited at the Arts and Crafts Society in 1899. In 1902 she was chosen to bind the copy of the Form and Order of Service which King Edward VII used at his Coronation, and which is in the Royal Collection. According to Sarah Prideaux in Modern Bookbindings, she did "good honest work of a comparatively simple nature" (see Marianne Tidcombe, Women Bookbinders, page 162).
