| |  | Some time ago I decided to create this site while researching French Decorative Bookbinding, particularly gold tooled works from the 16th to the 18th centuries. My interest in this developed out of the acquiring of an elaborately decorated 1647 Breviarium. Up till that point I was a collector of books, from then on I became a collector of bindings. Frankly I knew almost nothing about gold tooling, but I was inspired by the idea of trying to discover, if possible, who actually made and decorated my Breviarium. This lead me on to a vast research project where I not only learned about gold tooling but started collecting the tool imprints for a comparative analysis. The idea being that if one can identify the tools one may also be able to identify the artist. Thus within these pages you will discover how to identify the works of some of the most important and famous French bookbinders.
I called this site virtual bookbinding due to the fact that while I was collecting and extracting gold tooled imprints, I discovered a way to replicate imprints from rubbings. Thus with these replicated imprints I was able to repair or artificially reconstruct the missing parts of certain bindings, I soon discovered that I was able to create entirely 'virtual' bookbindings. |

| |  | PBO, a significant digital collection of decorative bindings, along with a comprehensive glossary and guide to the elements of these objects, will strengthen the growing interest in and create broader awareness for this “common” object called the book.
Decorative bindings cover many of the books that people have in their homes today, but their owners are often unaware of their cultural and historical significance. These bindings reflect not only social and cultural history, but bibliographic history as well.
PBO expands awareness of the book as artifact and of the role decorative bindings play in providing a window into historical, cultural, and industrial period of 1815-1930. This project increases the awareness of the general public about the importance of publishers' bindings as reflections of historical events, art movements, and the evolution of commercial binderies.
The project will also afford students, teachers, binders, and scholars in many different areas the opportunity to study up to 5,000 decorative bindings from two different physical collections in a single, virtual location.
