Description

These three bindings represent a high point in the work of the Club Bindery, created in 1900 for Edwin B. Holden by Léon Maillard. The trio is the ne plus ultra of Club Bindery productions. Their finishing reflects the most accomplished French work of the era — precise and complementary, while reflecting the inspiration of three distinct historical styles.
