English Cover Papers [Leather & Wood]. Vol. 4. Title page and 50 samples of decorative ‘cover papers’ for book binding. Oblong 8vo., 150 x 205 mm, bound in publisher’s cloth over decorative and textured pattern paper with a silver label on the front cover. New York: Whiting Patterson Company, ND [ca. 1925].
A striking trade catalogue of book binding paper featuring 50 samples many of which resemble exotic animal skins. The title-page, with its art deco flavor, places the date sometime in the 1920’s. However, it appears quite rare with little known about the Whiting Patterson Company and OCLC finding just this title under that imprint. The present is volume 4 of the series. A fine copy.
