About This Item
1902. ANSTRUTHER, G. Eliot. The Bindings of To-morrow. A record of the work of the Guild of Women-Binders and of the Hampstead Bindery. Illustrated with 50 full-page chromolithographs by Griggs. Modern half pigskin over boards. London: Printed for the Guild of Women-Binders & Williams & Norgate, 1902. The Guild of Women-Binders was established in 1898 as "a way of publicizing and promoting the sale of books bound by women" (Tidcombe pp. 27-8). In 1899 a workshop was set up for the Guild in Hampstead where members could train and work. The Bindery closed shortly after the exhibition for which this book was produced, while the Guild continued until 1904. Despite its short history, the Guild is a notable part of binding history as the binders produced "designs that were freer and less stereotyped than those of men in the trade, and they readily experimented with new techniques". One of an edition of 500 copies.
