Description
These two bindings were created by Anne De LaTour Hopper (b. 1941) during her studies in bookbinding at the Ecole de l’Union Centrale des Arts decoratifs in Paris. Hopper purchased unbound copies of fine press books from the bookstalls on the banks of the Seine and then used them to create custom bindings inspired by the geometric patterns in vogue in mid-20th-century France. Both bindings feature onlays as well as gold and blind tooling.
