Judging A Book By Its Cover: Gold-Stamped Publishers' Bindings of the 19th Century
An exhibit of English and American 19th century book covers with gold-stamping, a process that "brought to the mass-produced book some of the prestige associated with gold-tooled leather bindings of the pre-industrial era." Browsable by topic (vignettes, traditional designs, classical motifs, coats of arms, Wild West, travel books, designer bindings). Also features a gallery of selected book spines. From New York's Columbia University, Rare Book and Manuscript Library.
