Essai sur la médecine du coeur […]
Description
This is a tree-calf binding, with the tree-like appearance produced by pouring acid over the leather and the binding moved in a specific way to generate the desired pattern. Using a method that requires a high degree of mastery, the pattern is generated by pouring acid over polished leather. The collection at Archives and Special Collections contains several examples of this technique, one that would have been known to only a privileged few master binders. There are many designs generated onto bindings with the use of acid, the “marbled” effect being the most common. There is also an effect that simulates the mark of a cat’s paw.
