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 Wordsworth's poems illustrated by Pye's lifelong friend Thomas Sturge Moore. 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.
