Beautiful inlaid, colorful Kelliegram bindings wre among the many innovations of the English binding firm of Kelly and Sons. The Kelly family had one of the longest tenures in the history of the binding trade in London, founded in 1770 by John Kellie, as the name was then spelled. The firm was carried on by successive family members into the 1930's. This is a fine example of their craftsmanship. Please see photos.. First Edition. Full Polished Brown Levant.
