EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a jewelled ornamental binding with an exquisite depiction of several animals. Created in 1860 by renowned binders Sangorski & Sutcliffe, this stunning piece features a combination of green crushed levant morocco leather, red and blue morocco leather, gilt accents, moonstones, sapphires, and ruby gemstones. The binding was specifically crafted for the book "Sporting Scenes and Country Characters" by Charles White. Measuring at 20.3x13.6 cm, it is currently held in a private collection. The intricate design captures the essence of nature through three animal likenesses beautifully rendered on its front cover. The craftsmanship displayed in this mid-19th century work is truly remarkable. Every detail has been meticulously executed to create an ornate and precious masterpiece that reflects the skillful artistry of British artists during this period. The use of semi-precious stones such as sapphires and moonstones adds a touch of elegance to the overall composition while enhancing its visual appeal. The vibrant green color palette further enhances the beauty of this rare bookbinding. With no people present in the image, all attention is drawn towards the bound book itself - a testament to both its historical significance and artistic value. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the talent behind Sangorski & Sutcliffe's creation but also serves as a window into nineteenth-century European artistry at its finest.
