Englische Einbände des XII. Jahrhunderts in französischem Stil
A 1926 scholarly study by Theodor Gottlieb, published in German and drawn from the Heidelberg University Library, on English bookbindings of the twelfth century in the French manner. The two plates are photographs of embossed leather and metal book covers, shown flat and full-page with German captions naming their libraries and dates. A designer might take from them the dense repeating borders, rosettes, and framed central panels of Romanesque ornament, which suit pattern work and historical motifs.
