T. Prideaux is a specialized treatise on the art and craft of bookbinding, written in the early 20th century. This work examines the revival of bookbinding techniques and designs that have emerged over the past two and a half decades, particularly influenced by movements in applied arts and craftsmanship. The book focuses on developments in both English and French bookbinding, highlighting key figures and innovations in the field. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the notable resurgence of artistic craftsmanship in the realm of applied arts, largely inspired by figures like William Morris.
