Queen’s Binding Notebook

£15.00

This filigree cover design was created in 1675 to hold Richard Allestree’s The Government of the Tongue. Crafted by the Queens’ Binder “A,” the balance of open space and intricate elements makes it a shining jewel of the period.

The Queens' Binder was a name given to a small group of English craftsmen during the "Golden Age of English Bookbinding." Modern research indicates that the name encompasses four distinct shops, and as individual binders such as "A" could refer to multiple artisans. While the name of the binder called "A" is not known, there is no doubt as to the regency of this guilt binding, now a part of the Henry Davis Gift at the British Library.
