From the dust jacket: "This is the autobiography of one of the world's leading book restorers, binding scholars, and international lecturers on book conservation and binding. It is also the very warm story of a gangly teenager's rise from his first position at the British Library's bindery to the pinnacle of his craft. This important work is not only this gifted craftsman's personal story - in RECOLLECTIONS the reader is treated to a unique insight into Britain's strict trade school; and indentured apprenticeship of the early first half of the 20th century. Originally published as a fine press book by Henry Morris on his renowned Bird & Bull Press, this edition has an expanded text with many additional historical illustrations.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. 8vo, pp. 79, [1]; with photographic illustrations; printed purple wrappers.The imprisonment of Annie Cobden-Sanderson, daughter of the famous Victorian statesman Richard Cobden, prompted a wave of letters of protest to the newspapers, giving the women's suffrage campaign the major boost she had hoped for. The ten women with whom Cobden-Sanderson was arrested (and of whom the Home Office deemed her to be the leader) were the first group of middle-class women sentenced to prison for demanding the right to vote. The remarkable survival of the diary she wrote in Holloway Prison in 1906, the earliest known prison diary of a suffragist/suffragette, allows us to read her fascinating story without embellishment. Dr Marianne Tidcombe provides a full transcription of the diary, with extensive notes on the characters and events mentioned. Her biographical introduction gives a full description of Cobden-Sanderson's life, from her childhood in an intensely political household to her later career as a campaigner for equal rights, the welfare of children, and peace among nations. Marianne Tidcombe became a friend of Annie Cobden-Sanderson's daughter Stella (1886 1979) and her great-niece Elizabeth Cobden Boyd while writing on the life and work of Stella's father, T. J. Cobden-Sanderson. Her books, The Bookbindings of T. J. Cobden-Sanderson (1984), The Doves Bindery (1991), Women Bookbinders 1880-1920 (1996), and The Doves Press (2001) were published by the British Library.

This highly-researched work is the most authoritative account of the first and most famous private press of the 20th century - The Doves Press. Starting its operation in the wake of William Morris, the Doves Press became a major influence in the development of modern book design. Marianne Tidcombe reveals the intriguing story of the cutting of the famous Doves Type, the printing of Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and The English Bible. Also included is the saga of Cobden-Sanderson's short and stormy partnership with Emery Walker. Recounted in detail, this blusterous relationship ultimately lead to a final episode where Cobden-Sanderson throws the Doves type into the River Thames to prevent it from falling into Walker's hands after his death. A detailed, descriptive bibliography of all the books and papers printed at the Doves Press along with a list of all ephemeral items is provided. Richly illustrated with 18 color and 124 black-and-white illustrations. Marianne Tidcombe has spent over thirty years researching the Doves Press. She is also the author of Women Bookbinders 1880-1920 (Oak Knoll Press 1996).
