520			_a"Royal English Bookbindings" by Cyril Davenport is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the rich tradition of bookbinding in England, particularly focusing on royal collections from notable historical figures such as Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, and their successors. It highlights the artistic and material significance of these bindings, linking them to the cultural history of the English monarchy. At the start of the work, the author presents a fascinating overview of the historical transitions and events related to the royal libraries in England. He elucidates how royal collections were both preserved and given to the nation, detailing significant contributions from various monarchs, such as Prince Henry and George III. The prologue sets the stage for a detailed examination of specific books and their bindings that reflect the personal tastes and artistic influences of English royalty from the medieval period through to the 17th century, preparing readers for an in-depth exploration of the craft and its historical context.
