Book Binding
Book illustration, and its sister craft, bookbinding, are 2,000-year-old art forms celebrating and enhancing the glories of the written word. Book illustration began with the invention of movable type around 1451. In an age when literacy was rare, the spectacle of filigreed letters, ornate bordering and fine art illustrations must have had enormous appeal to early readers. Bookbinding, or the art of creating protective and/or ornamental book covers, replaced scrolls in the early Christian era. During the Middle Ages, bookbinding evolved into a high craft, with covers boasting ornamental gems and finely tooled leather. Today's bookbinders are mainly restorers, trying to recreate with the aid of modern scientific techniques the hand-wrought 'objets d'art' of their early predecessors. Below are articles on book arts and bookbinding.
