Such bindings are executed with exquisite care and a family’s arms are tooled into the covers and then gilded. In the case of this “essay on the conduct of kings”, the leather covers have been embossed with the coat of arms of Jeanne Antoinette Pompadour (1721-1764), chief mistress of Louis XV, King of France.

The image of the skull resting on a pile of books invokes the imagery of the Latin motto “Memento Mori”, a warning about the vanity of all things earthly and the inevitability of death. This image is reminiscent of several Baroque paintings of the 17th century, with which Lachèvre would have been familiar.

With paper and leather being expensive commodities due to the ever-increasing amount of titles being published and the demand by binders for materials to cover these in, it makes perfect sense for binders to reuse materials whenever possible. In general, bindings made of “recycled” materials were generally so chosen by the person requesting an item be bound. The owner of this item may have even supplied this piece of used parchment himself. The book owner ordering such a binding would have had economy at the top of list of priorities.
