Description:
The Guild of Women-Binders was created in May 1898 by Frank Karslake at the suggestion of Annie Macdonald of the Edinburgh Social Union. Macdonald saw the Guild as a path into the London market for provincial women bookbinders. Karslake saw a business opportunity. It was originally an exhibition space for women’s bindings. In 1899 Karslake added a workshop to train women binders under the direction of his daughter Constance and binders from the Hampstead Bindery. This exhibition catalogue was the first produced for the Guild.
