FLEMISH AND RELATED PANEL-STAMPED BINDINGS, EVIDENCE AND PRINCIPLES.

FLEMISH AND RELATED PANEL-STAMPED BINDINGS, EVIDENCE AND PRINCIPLES.

Pp. xviii+254(last colophon, verso blank), 42 plates, title page illustration and text figures, appendices, indices; demy 4to; green cloth, spine blocked in black and lettered in gilt, upper board decorated in gilt; Bibliographical Society of America, New York, 1990. Edition limited to 750 copies. *Early Flemish bookbinders were not only the first to use panel stamps in their bindings, but they should also be credited with the spread of the technique to areas such as England and Northern France. This comprehensive study focuses particularly on questions of production and technique, rather than iconography, and is based on the premise that Flemish and related panels were not engraved, as has generally been accepted, but cast, and that many of them were produced in identical examples.
