ELABORATELY BOUND BY LEONARD MOUNTENEY, presumably during his tenure with the Cuneo Press Fine Binding Studio. Mounteney was well-regarded for his exhibition bindings. He worked as an extra finisher at Rivière in London until 1924, when he joined the Extra Bindery at R. R. Donnelley in Chicago. He left Donnelley in 1926 to join Cuneo's hand bindery, also in Chicago. (For other bindings by the Cuneo Fine Binding Studio, see lots 284 and 290.) A SUPERB EXAMPLE.
