From Pigskin to Paper
A new online exhibition at the University of Otago about the
history of bookbinding has just commenced, with a focus both
on explaining bookbinding terminology and showing examples
ranging from the earliest English binding in New Zealand (1482)
to 16th century European publishers’ bindings, Sangorski &
Sutcliffe to local Dunedin bookbinders. The exhibition ‘From
Pigskin to Paper: The Art and Craft of Bookbinding’ can be
accessed at www.otago.ac.nz/library/exhibitions/bindings.
EINE NACHLESE [THE AFTERMATH]. HERAUSGEGEBEN VON MAX EISLER. Klimt, Gustav. Vienna, Österreichische Staatsdruckeri, 1931. Limited edition of 500 copies. An uncommon and unusually decadent portfolio of prints after original oil paintings by Gustav Klimt. Complete sets of this portfolio are becoming increasingly scarce. Preserved in the original folding case, this set remains in superb original condition.
