Description
This copy of The Psalms of David, printed in 1706, was bound in what is known as a somber binding. Somber bindings were made in England between 1670 and 1720. Their dark, sober covers appeared on bibles and devotional books, and they may have been used during periods of mourning or for the purpose of observing Lent. Their distinctive covers of fine, black goatskin feature tooling in blind. This copy contains a contemporary ownership inscription: “Anna Grahame | Her Book.”
