Description:
Stockholm Binding: Lemon morocco, inlaid with coloured leathers. Raised bands. Lettered on back. The panels of the back are decorated with coloured inlays. On the upper cover is a tree, with leaved branches, across which, on a white ribbon, is the title of the book impressed in gold. From the green ground spring four tulips as well as the central tree, and in the two upper corners are two flying white doves, all enclosed in a dark brown fillet; the whole of the desogn is worked in leather mosaic, the points of junction being hidden by gold tooled lines. On the lower cover in the centre is a leaf spray, and William Caxton's printer's device on a white ribbon, and the same dark brown border as on the other cover. Commissioned by James & Mary Lee Tregaskis.
