Description:
|
Copenhagen Binding: Inlaid morocco, raised bands. Lettered on back. On the upper cover a decorative portrait of the Fair Jehane, in a black circle, on a blue ground. Above the circle are two white doves, and in the lower corners white narcissus sprays. Beneath the portrait is the name Jehane, supported by two black dragons, in a panel of red and black fillets. The figure of the Fair Jehane, and the ornaments surrounding the dragons, have been executed in pin gilding. An architectural border, springing from the lower panel, encloses the upper part of the design. The whole of this elaborate design is exquisitely inlaid in thirteen coloured leathers, calf and morocco, the lines of the junction being covered by the gold tooling. On the lower cover a diaper of crowned F's and J's, surmounted by a conventional border. Doublure of dove-covered calf, powdered with fleurs-de-lys and dots, silk end-leaves of the same colour and leather joints. Commissioned by James & Mary Lee Tregaskis.
