lambskin
The tanned skin of a young sheep. Vegetable tanned
lambskin was highly prized in the latter part of
the 19th century as a bookbinding leather because
of its delicate colors, and also for limp bindings
because of its softness and freedom from scratches
and other blemishes. Lambskin is similar in
appearance to calfskin but is less durable. See
