Bagguley, Thomas
An English bookbinder, of Newcastle under Lyme,
who, in the late 19th century, devised a method of
tooling vellum and similar materials in permanent
colors. Bagguley limited his technique to vellum,
as he considered leather to be too lacking in
purity of color to offer a satisfactory ground for
unrestricted color decoration. Because of the
delicate nature of his work, he further restricted
his technique to vellum doublures. See also: SUTHERLAND DECORATION
