Description
This striking Art Deco design comes from the celebrated British bookbinder Sybil Pye (1879-1959). It was crafted to hold a collection of William Wordsworths poems illustrated by Pyes lifelong friend Thomas Sturge Moore.Self-taught, Pye began producing her first works in the early 1900s using naturally coloured leather, before graduating to multi-coloured panels. By 1934 she was creating complex covers of up to six different inlays, and her work was regularly exhibited around the world. One of the youngest pre-First World War women binders, Pye was the only binder in England who specialized in inlaid leather bindings. With this series, we pay tribute to a pioneering woman in the art of book design.
