Title:
Ros rosarum: ex horto poet
Description:
English bookbinder Rosamond Philpott trained at Sangorski and Sutcliffe in 1904. Like many successful women binders, she exhibited on the Continent and in England and sold her work regularly. Her workshop, the Marygold Bindery, was in Cambridge. This wonderfully executed binding of maroon goatskin over boards is exuberantly arranged, utilizing leather onlay, and includes gold-tooled Tudor roses, foliage, flower buds, and stars. It is stamped on the turn-in of the lower cover: “Marygold Bindery, 1925.”
