Adorned with garlands of flowers that cascade gracefully, the gold embellishments of this cover design are rich with delicate details reflecting the original binding’s sophisticated beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClub Bindery was formed in 1898 by members of New York City’s Grolier Club – now the oldest existing bibliophilic club in North America – to bring the art of fine bookbinding to the United States, and to bind their most prized books in the tradition of European binderies. The original volume reproduced here contained \u003cem\u003ePrue \u0026amp; I\u003c\/em\u003e by George William Curtis (1824–1892), an American writer and reformer who was a favourite in New York society. Written during the height of the Gilded Age period, the work was a pleasantly sentimental, fancifully tender, and humorous study of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile today this copy of \u003cem\u003ePrue \u0026amp; I\u003c\/em\u003e can be found at The New York Public Library, it was once held in the personal library of William Augustus Spencer, a wealthy man with a passion for fine books. Spencer bequeathed his massive collection to The New York Public Library after seeing its new, yet-unfinished magnificent central building. Following Spencer’s tragic death as one of the \u003cem\u003eTitanic\u003c\/em\u003e passengers, the Library received his book collection and a sizable donation for establishing the Spencer Collection. This institution is dedicated to preserving material history of the illustrated word and book binding, an undertaking that we, of course, support wholeheartedly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe hope the romantic elegance of this New York Rose design encourages your own love affair with the art of fine bookbinding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSmyth Sewn Binding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative printed cover paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFSC-certified text paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded stitching and glue, as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCloth headbands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcid-free sustainable forest paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible cover and spine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paperblanks","offers":[{"title":"Ultra Lined 176 Pages 100gsm","offer_id":46964920123548,"sku":"9780349715384","price":35.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ultra Unlined 176 Pages 100gsm","offer_id":46964920156316,"sku":"9780349715391","price":35.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Midi Lined 176 Pages 100gsm","offer_id":46964920189084,"sku":"9780349715407","price":26.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Midi Unlined 176 Pages 100gsm","offer_id":46964920221852,"sku":"9780349715414","price":26.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mini Lined 208 Pages 80gsm","offer_id":46964920254620,"sku":"9780349715421","price":22.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/4862\/2236\/files\/9780349715391_Front.webp?v=1779833099","url":"https:\/\/pulpaddiction.com.au\/products\/paperblanks-flexi-journal-giled-age-new-york-rose","provider":"Pulp Addiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
