pictorial bindings
Wrappered bindings with pictorial decorations,
generally executed in one color, and usually on a
black or colored background. Gilt pictorial
decoration on the spines of publishers' cloth
bindings was common in the late 1830s and the
1840s. A similar technique was used on cloth, and
although glazed pictorial cloth bindings were
never as common as those boarded or wrappered,
they were used occasionally until the end of the
19th century. (69 )
