English Lyrics from Spenser to Milton
Description:
Alice Shepherd executed this elegant modeled or “embossed” binding after a design by H. Granville Fell. The gold tooling on calf is perfectly achieved, accomplished with the highest level of skill. Shepherd was in charge of the cut and modeled leather department at the Cedric Chivers bindery at Bath, which was comprised of women workers. She trained with Mary Ann Bassett, who taught leather work at the Heath in Leighton Buzzard. This binding was exhibited in 1904 at the St. Louis Exhibition. The original exhibition label is present.
