Mich. Ms. 130. Front board; the leather entirely gone, as it is from the spine and back board. Note the strongly crafted structural elements of this binding in the bridle preparation, sewing, and endbanding. The boards have acquired a patina over many years that heightens the contours of the wood; note the stubs of two wooden side pegs near the fore edge.
Format
218 x 150 x 90 mm. Wooden boards, 7 mm. thick, with the grain running vertically. The cover is missing but there is evidence of its former existence, probably leather.
