Prachtvolle Handeinbände des bedeutenden Londoner Buchbinders James Hayday (1796-1872). Hayday, Schüler des auf Pergamenteinbände spezialisierten Buchbinders Charles Marchant, eröffnete 1833 eine Buchbinder-Werkstatt in der Little Queen Street 31 in London. - "Works bound by Hayday became famous, and his name attached to a book raised its value twenty-five per cent. Edward Gardner of the Oxford Warehouse, 7 Paternoster Row, secured Hayday's services for the Oxford books exclusively. William Pickering, bookseller, of 57 Chancery Lane, gave him the benefit of his long experience, and introduced him to many wealthy patrons. After entering into a brief partnership with Mr. Boyce, ?a finisher,? he again started on his own account at 31 Little Queen Street. Unable to compete with other and cheaper binders, he was adjudicated a bankrupt on 10 June 1861. He sold the use of his name to William Mansell, who succeeded to the bookbinding establishment. Retiring to St Leonards-on-Sea, Hayday died there on 19 March 1872, aged 76" (Wikipedia). - Der Text stellenweise etwas braunfleckig, schönes Exemplar in prachtvollen Handeinbänden.
