Elliott, Thomas ( active 1712-1763 )
A London bookbinder, Elliott was apprenticed to
Robert Steele in 1703 and finished his service in
1712. He became bookbinder to Robert Harley, and
worked in the HARLEIAN
STYLE , which was forced on both him and
Christopher Chapman by either Harley, or Harley's
librarian, Humfrey Wanley. The books the two
produced were solidly bound in a red morocco said
to be of an inferior quality. (94 , 246 )
