Prize bindings were an important segment of the upmarket binding trade in 18th-century Netherlands. The books were distributed as prizes to students in the 40-odd Latin schools that existed in the republic. They were most often bound in parchment and stamped or tooled on the upper and lower covers with the arms of the city or town in which the school was located. The figure of a woman bearing a shield on the cover of this binding represents the arms of the town of Enkhuizen.
