The Victorian era (1837-1901) was an exciting time. Rapid and unregulated industrialisation brought with it tremendous social and political change and saw technological advancements in nearly every sphere. Book binding was no exception.
This fascinating exhibition explores the evolution of the book as it transitions away from the traditional methods of hand-binding towards the exquisitely gilt-blocked, machine-sewn and mass-produced publishers' cloth binding.
Curated by Lee Hayes, this stunning selection of books from both the Rare Books & Special Collections Library and the curator's own personal collection will be on display until 10th October 2015.
