Lions Den Sybil Pye Bindings Midi Unlined Hardcover by Paperblanks HARDBACK

This striking Art Deco design comes from the celebrated British bookbinder Sybil Pye (1879\u20131959). It was crafted to hold a collection of William Wordsworth\u2019s poems illustrated by Pye\u2019s lifelong friend Thomas Sturge Moore.Self-taught, Pye began producing her first works in the early 1900s using naturally coloured leather, before graduating to multi-coloured panels. By 1934 she was creating complex covers of up to six different inlays, and her work was regularly exhibited around the world. One of the youngest pre\u2013First World War women binders, Pye was the only binder in England who specialized in inlaid leather bindings. With this series, we pay tribute to a pioneering woman in the art of book design.\n\nLion\u2019s Den (Sybil Pye Bindings) Midi Unlined Hardcover Journal\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as low as we can go, w;
