Description

Binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, 1913
Sangorski & Sutcliffe's love of jewelled bindings is well demonstrated here. The navy goatskin has been gold-tooled and inlaid with green, brown, and light blue goatskin in an almost cloisonné-like style. The central nautical theme with fish and anchor, and the clamshell motif on the spine are apt reflections of the tale within, Voyage to the Spice Islands. The endleaves and pastedowns are of brown watered silk.

Sangorski and Sutcliffe was a leading firm of craftsman binders founded in 1901 by Francis Sangorski (1875-1912) and George Sutcliffe (1878-1943). Both had studied under Douglas Cockerell at London's Central School of Arts and Crafts. Sangorski and Sutcliffe's lavish use of coloured leathers, gold, and semi-precious stones, combined with innovative motifs, resulted in richly detailed bindings.
