The reproduction of the binding shown above is found in the Gumuchain Catalogue (1930, XII,) It is binding number 32. Carefully read the item description, I failed to read the fine print here and at first was thinking this was a binding from 1548. Which would be highly significant if it was, however the careful eye of the expert who wrote this description has detected, fortunately, that this binding was originally on a different book. Therefore the 1548 date of publication is not relevant! The quality of the Gumuchain reproductions is excellent and far exceeds anything that you can find in these "modern" times. Here we can extract some high resolution imprint specimens...
