Otter Bookbinding

This Bible circa 1600s came with numerous pages torn with missing parts

The Boards had come away and the spine was brittle and unsalvageable.

To repair this book, a facsimile frontispiece was printed onto some sympathetically dyed paper and joined onto the original.   A new spine was made up to match the original and blind lines were criss crossed on the leather and dye was used to make as sympathetic repair as possible
