Description

This speckled calf binding is created using a technique of depositing fine drops of acid on the binding’s leather to achieve the visual effect. A late 19th or early 20th century rebinding, this binding is executed in the “Cambridge” style. Very popular at the end of the 17th century, Cambridge bindings were generated using different panels of leather of contrasting colours or designs. The designs stamped in the panel corners are also typical of this style of binding.
