LA RELIURE, by R. DEVAUCHELLE
Recherches historiques, techniques et biographiques sur la reliure française
With 225 reproductions of bookbindings, 50 of which are in colors, plus 600 drawings, vignettes and illustrations of bookbinders' stamps this volume substantially documents the history of bookbinding.
Written in French, La Reliure, by R. Devauchelle, is the work of one of the best historians and practitioners of the art. Here he has presented bookbinding in all of its sumptuousness while also underlining its importance in the fields of bibliography and of decorative arts. The history of its craftsmanship, its special features, its rivalries and its jargon- all come alive under the brisk penmanship of this far-seeing practictioner.
The preface is written by Albert Labarre, Honorary Senior Curator of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
