Otter Bookbinding

This Bible was printed in Welsh in the 1800's.  When it arrived in the Bindery, the original front and back boards were very degraded and the spine was unsalvageable.  Because the original covers were very plain, the decision was made to rebind it in a style fitting to it's age, with a calf spine and blind tooling on either side of raised bands.  The title was lettered using brass hand letters and gold leaf.
