Binding of Queen Alexandra - 1908 |
These several delectable bindings from the Royal Collection originally came to be distinguished and retained because of the eminence of their owners, not because of their own intrinsic merit. Bindings seldom come to be collected for their own sakes. They are the lovely thing that tags along when collections are formed for all kinds of other reasons.
