Encuadernaciones

Parte de lo que convierte a los libros de anticuario en piezas de coleccionista son sus delicadas y bellas encuadernaciones. La tradición de la encuadernación de libros ha recorrido un largo camino desde las tabletas de arcilla y las hojas de palma que se utilizaban en el mundo antiguo. Después de que los encuadernadores dejaran de usar este tipo de materiales, empezaron a trabajar con cuero, tanto de vaca como de tenero. Según fue aumentando el reconocimiento del trabajo de la encuadernación, algunos artesanos comenzaron también a acoplar a los libros piedras preciosas y metales. Y aunque muchos de estos libros se destruyeran debido a los saqueadores que querían hacerse con las joyas, todavía quedan algunas obras con esta rara y exclusiva encuadernación. Por supuesto, también existen otros tipos de elegantes encuadernaciones. Todavía hoy en día se puede encontrar diarios con encuadernaciones de puntada larga, que se caracterizan por unir con costura diferentes partes de un libro. El origen de esta técnica se sitúa en Alemania durante la época medieval y se ha usado desde entonces. De manera similar, la encuadernación etíope presenta un método de costura de puntada de cadena que utiliza dos agujas. Es interesante señalar que aunque las tapas eran de madera, a menudo se dejaban al descubierto y sin adornos. Los libros con encuadernaciones tan exquisitas son también piezas de arte, aportan valor y color a cualquier colección. Tanto si el coleccionista decide centrarse exclusivamente en un tipo de encuadernación como si opta por la diversidad, cualquiera de estos libros mejorará enormemente su colección.

Petersham, MA: Lone Oak Press, 2005. Esser, Mark. Oblong quarto. 89pp. From an edition of fourteen deluxe copies and 70 standard copies, this is one of five deluxe copies chosen to be specially bound for the international traveling exhibit "InsideOUT: Contemporary Bindings of Private Press Books," and as such, it does not include the extra suite or block as listed on the colophon. The exhibit, organized by British binding society Designer Bookbinders, married the works of nine private presses with the artistry of 59 binders from the United Kingdom and the United States. The text consists of selections from Henry David Thoreau's journal, which describe the vernal pools of New England that serve as breeding habitats for all manner of amphibians. Accompanying the text are twenty-eight engravings by Lone Oak Press founder Abigail Rorer, some of which are hand-colored by the artist. The detailed drawings brilliantly capture the teeming life and varied textures of these small pools. The book was designed… Leer más

Descripción:
1790. Fine. 14 22 3.5. THIS BOOK IS UNIQUE. Hidden scene on the fore page edges (under the gilding) on both volumes. Tan calf bindings. Gilt embossed edges and centre panel on all sides. Black title plates and gilt banding and titles on the spine. Gilt on all page edges. Dimensions are for one volume. Supplied in a newly made protective box. Magnificent Fore Edge Edition Fore-edge painting: With a double concealed fore-edge painting revealing two scenes. In very good condition. The first known example of a disappearing fore-edge painting (where the painting is not visible when the book is closed) dates to 1649. Around 1750, the subject matter of fore-edge paintings changed from simply decorative or heraldic designs to landscapes, portraits and religious scenes, usually painted in full colour. The technique was popularised in the 18th century by John Brindley (1732-1756), publisher and bookbinder to the Prince of Wales and Edwards of Halifax, a distinguished family of bookbinders and booksellers.
