LRBS Short Courses

10-12 April 2024 | Recognising and Dating English Bookbindings 1450-1850

Every historic binding tells a story, not only around when it was made or repaired, but also around the choices and motives of owners. What are the key questions to ask, and what knowledge is needed in order to answer them? Using the outstanding collections in the historic library of Shrewsbury School, this course puts practical guidance on recognising bindings into that investigative framework.
