Content
The spines of these bindings are decorated in the usual eighteenth-century manner. Characteristic are the areas between the raised bands consisting of lines of gold leaf and corner and centre piece tooling. In order to tool these kinds of spines the binder used (warmed) ornament or line pallets and ornaments or line rolls. The spines are also provided with a lettering piece usually made of sheepskin. They were tooled after they had been pasted to the spine.
